We show the results of beam simulations for photocathode sources using a newly developed Green's function based code called IRPSS (Indiana Rf Photocathode Source Simulator). In general, a fully electromagnetic treatment of space-charge fields within simulations of photocathode sources is typically difficult since the beam is most often tightly bunched. The problem is further complicated by the inclusion of nearby conducting structures, i.e. cathode and cavity walls, from which the fields are reflected. The entire problem can be solved self-consistently using an electromagnetic Green's function method. Since Green's functions are generated by a Delta function source while simultaneously satisfying the boundary conditions of the system, they are an effective tool when solving for fields within photocathode source simulations. Using IRPSS we show the results of multiparticle simulations for a variety of photocathode source experiments.
