Wakefields from resistive wall and surface roughness inside an undulatory can cause significant growth of beam energy spread and limit the performance of x-ray FEL radiation. In this paper, we propose a method to mitigate such energy modulation by appropriately conditioning the electron beam current profile. Numerical example and potential applications will also be discussed.

Start-to-end simulation plays an important role in design and optimization of next generation light sources. In this paper, we will present start-to-end (from the photocathode to the end of undulator) simulations of a high repetition rate FEL-based Next Generation Light Source driven by CW superconducting linac with the real number of electrons (~2 billion electrons/bunch) using the multi-physics parallel beam dynamics code IMPACT. We will discuss challenges, numerical methods and physical models used in the simulation. We will also present simulation results of a beam transporting through photoinjector, beam delivery system, and final X-ray FEL radiation.
