  We report on coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) modeling using a new first-principles Lienard-Wiechert solver (CSR3D) that simulates real-world number of particles (624 million to 6.24 billion for 100-pC to 1-nC bunch charges). Using this tool, we have verified the limits of applicability of the common 1-D CSR model, including effect due to transverse beam size and shape. We also have observed energy dependent, wavelength dependent, and transverse-size dependent effects on CSR enhancement from microbunching. Additionally, we describe statistics of CSR shot noise, including dependencies on beam energy and transverse position and resulting energy diffusion. We consider the full transverse equation of motion and also quantify the effect of emittance growth from the bunch’s transverse radiation force.

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.
