Description
Currently, interpolating an Efield beam and then converting to power gives a different result than converting to power and then interpolating at about a 5% level.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the comparison between interpolating the Efield beam before power conversion and converting to power before interpolation; trace the beam interpolation and HEALPix conversion paths. Done means the approximately 5% discrepancy is understood and the interpolation behavior is corrected.
