            Abstract : 
We presented in 2013 at the IVEC conference a new discrete model for the TWT which is in time domain and is Hamiltonian. In-between, this model has been implemented into a workable code enabling a first comparison with other existing models. These older models are in frequency domain and fail to predict reality when high accuracy is needed. This preliminary work already offers plausible explanation for the discrepancies.
