  For various cases, e.g. in the long undulator sections of the European XFEL, quantum diffusion and energy loss have a noticable effect on the electron trajectory, which in turn affects the properties of the emitted radiation. We discuss approaches to modelling the electron dynamics taking this into account and the effect it has on spontaneous radiation emission.

  For the operation phase of the European XFEL the possibility to characterize the FEL radiation taking realistic machine model into account is important. To achieve this, a software framework is being developed. It allows for interoperability of various simulation codes by means of a common graphical user interfaces, common input and output files, and common programming model for scripting; it includes the possibility of modeling beam jitters and machine imperfections to set errorbars on the simulation results, and has a connection to the control system for data acquisition. We report on the progress in the developing of this framework and give examples of FEL property calculations performed with it.

  Calculating spontaneous radiation emission from long undulators such as those present in the European XFEL, being background to FEL radiation, is still important for several diagnostics and science cases. For realistic setups, and including effects of electron beam focusing, emittance and energy spread in the electron beam, these calculations should be performed numerically. We present these calculations for several electron beam and undulator parameters performed by various codes. Sensitivity of different spontaneous radiation characteristics, in various collection schemes, to the electron beam and undulator magnetic field parameters is studied

  In this contribution we present an analysis of electron trajectories in the three dimensional magnetic field from a planar undulator. The electron trajectory is influenced by the focusing properties of the undulator field. In the European XFEL case, long segmented undulators (21 segments for the SASE3 beamline to 35 for SASE1 and SASE2) are planned to be installed, with quadrupole lenses between different segments. These focusing properties should be taken into account in simulations of spontaneous radiation, which constitutes the background signal of the FEL. The ideal magnetic field of an undulator can be described by a sinusoidal vertical magnetic field on the undulator axis, and by horizontal and longitudinal field components that appear out of axis. Exploiting this description for the ideal case, an experimentally measured magnetic field is accounted for by solving the differential equations of motion. The electrons' trajectories for the experimentally measured magnetic field were also simulated numerically. To that aim, a computer code was written, which relies on the Runge-Kutta algorithm. The analytical and numerical methods show a good agreement.
