Here are the results for the LCLS Argonne workshop. I still have to do some minor runs and in the attached file I present only the output of the 'very long' Genesis runs. Note that the file is rather large (> 4 MByte) due to the various profiles in power and bunching. The plot should be easy to understand, but for clarification here are my plotting standard (I assume a flat profile with 3.4 kA, a emittance of 1.2 mm mrad and an energy spread of del_gamma=2.8): In general the colors refers to: green - 15 Angstrom blue - 1.5 Angstrom red - 1.0 Angstrom For the bunching I plot also the higher harmonics as well with: solid line - fundamental dashed line - 2nd harmonic dotted line - 3rd harmonic The effect of wakefields is shown in the second plot. The degradation is rather large because there is a residual amplitude of the wake potential along the main part of the bunch. Theoretically you can compensate with a very small taper but it would be very sensitive to any fluctuation in the current profile (e.g. a spike which contains only 10% of the total charge at the head of the bunch makes the taper useless). The last two plots are the results for an independent run at 1.5 Angstrom. They are marked with the purple color. The solid line is as in the plots before, with no wakefields, no energy loss due to spontaneous radiation, no taper to compensate that and a simpler undulator lattice for faster calculation. The dotted line is the results of the simulation, including the energy loss, stepwise taper (light purple plot in the last graph) and a detailed undulator lattice with the superperiod. The slight offset with respect to the solid line can be explained that the realistic lattice has more drift space than the simplified lattice. In total it is 1.5 m The dashed line has the same parameters as the run for the dotted line except that an additional taper is introduced after saturation to increase the output power (dark purple in last plot).
