A general multipole-based formalism to study the effects of RF asymmetries on the production of ultra-high brightness beam is presented, which employs both analytical and computational techniques. These field asymmetries can cause the degradation of beam emittance due to time dependent and nonlinear focusing effects. Two cases of interest are examined: the dipole asymmetry produced by a coupling slot in a standard high gradient RF gun, and the higher multipole content introduced by the support/cooling rods in a PWT structure. Practical implications of our results, as well as comparison to cold test and beam-based experimental tests, are discussed. (8 References).
