In this interaction regime, the phase and group velocity of the radiation are matched to the relativistic beam traveling in the undulator achieving long interaction lengths. Our numerical approach is based on expanding the existing 3D particle tracking code GPT (General Particle Tracer) to follow the interaction of the particles in the beam with the electromagnetic field modes of the waveguide. We present two separate studies: one for a case which was benchmarked with experimental results and another one for a test case where, using a longer undulator and larger bunch charge, a sizable fraction of the input beam energy can be extracted and converted to THz radiation. The model presented here is an important step in the development of the zero-slippage FEL scheme as a source for high average and peak power THz radiation.
