	Funding: This work is supported by U.S. D.O.E. Contract number DE-SC0006287 Many advanced accelerator concepts require the co-propagation and interaction of the electron with a laser (e.g., laser-plasma accelerators, inverse Compton scattering, laser heaters, and electron beam diagnostics with laser light). The strict requirements on beam properties necessitate numerical modeling to fully understand the complexities of the beam dynamics. Laser-specific simulations often require a different set of modeling tools. This has resulted in a hodgepodge approach, where the output of one program must be inputted into another. This paper presents the Radtrack software highlights, which aims to simplify these issues by uniting key software components under an intuitive graphical interface while addressing key problems relevant in the accelerator community.

MOPHO25	Removal of Residual Chirp in Compressed Beams Using a Passive Wakefield Technique	291

	Funding: This is experiment is supported by an ongoing DOE Phase I Small Business Initiative for Research (SBIR) Grant, number DE–-SC0009550. The removal of residual chirp in XFELs is of paramount importance for efficient lasing. Although current S-band XFELs remove the unwanted residual chirp using off-crest acceleration after the final bunch compressor, this technique is not possible for XFELs with soft X-ray lines as there are no further accelerating structures. The off-crest dechirping technique is also expensive for future superconducting XFELs. In response, RadiaBeam Systems presents its work, building upon the theoretical work of Bane and Stupakov, in RF-free residual chirp mitigation using only passive techniques. Beam-induced longitudinal wakefields are produced with opposing corrugated plates which allow for an entirely RF-free chirp removal. Theory, engineering, and experimental results are presented.
