	Start-to-end (S2E) modeling of free-electron lasers (FELs) normally requires the use of multiple codes to correctly capture the physics in each region of the machine. Codes such as PARMELA, IMPACT-T or MICHELLE, for instance, may be used to simulate the injector. From there the linac and transport line may be handled by codes such as DIMAD, ELEGANT or IMPACT-Z. Finally, at the FEL a wiggler interaction code such as GENESIS, GINGER, or MINERVA must be used. These codes may be optimized to work with a wide range in magnitude of macro-particle numbers (from 10⁴-10⁸ in different codes) and have different input formats. It is therefore necessary to have translator codes to provide a bridge between each section. It is essential that these translators be able to preserve the statistical properties of the bunch while raising or lowering the number of macro-particles used between codes. In this work we show a suite of such translators designed to facilitate S2E simulations of an FEL with a new wiggler code, MINERVA, and use these codes to provide benchmarking of MINERVA against other common wiggler simulation codes.

	Collective beam effects, including coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR), have been studied on free-electron lasers (FELs).

A recent study conducted on the JLab IR FEL looked at how CSR impacts both average energy and the energy spectrum of the beam. Such studies are important, both broadly, to the understanding of CSR and more specifically for a number of proposed ERL projects. A few proposed examples include the MEIC bunched beam cooler ERL design and ERL FELs for potential lithography purposes that would operate in the EUV range.

Collective beam effects, including coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR), have been studied on free-electron lasers (FELs). Here we will discuss a particular case of the CSR effects, that in energy-recovery linacs (ERLs). Special consideration is given to these machines because of their high average beam power and the architecture of the machine for energy recovery forces extreme bends. A recent study conducted on the JLab IR FEL looked at how CSR impacts both average energy and the energy spectrum of the beam. Such studies are important, both broadly, to the understanding of CSR and more specifically for a number of proposed ERL projects. A few proposed examples include the MEIC bunched beam cooler ERL design and ERL FELs for potential lithography purposes that would operate in the EUV range.
