This can be qualitatively explained by the fact that the 3D field representation preserves many more modes than does the axisymmetric field solved for by a 2D code. In this paper, we seek to develop an analytical model that quantifies this difference. We begin by expanding the spontaneous undulator radiation field as a multipole series, whose lowest order mode is axisymmetric. This allows us to calculate the difference in predicted intensity. Next, we confirm these results with numerical calculation and existing FEL codes GINGER and GENESIS. Finally, we discuss the implications of this study with respect to the XFELO two-bunch experiment to be conducted at LCLS-II.
