Shot noise or an initial intensity modulation in the beam pulse may have a strong effect in the FEL linacs and also severely degrade the machine performances in terms of FEL performances. In this paper we present the simulations done to study this effect in SwissFEL, the future free electron laser under design at Paul Scherrer Institute. In particular we calculated the gain of the microbunching instability in the low and high energy part and we performed start-to-end simulations using as initial distribution something as close as possible to the laser profile measured at the SwissFEL injector test facility. We finally present the preliminary calculations to estimate the effect of the laser heater to mitigate this effect.

The SwissFEL injector test facility at the Paul Scherrer Institute is the principal test bed and demonstration plant for the SwissFEL project, which aims at realizing a hard-X-ray Free Electron Laser by 2017. The RF photoinjector facility has been in operation since 2010 and has recently reached its design energy of 250 MeV. A newly installed movable magnetic chicane allows longitudinal bunch compression studies. We report on the first experience with the bunch compressor and present the latest results of projected and slice emittance measurements.
