AbstractWe discuss our progress on the self-consistent calcu-
lation of the 4D phase space density (PSD) and electro-
magnetic fields in a Vlasov-Maxwell formulation. We em-
phasize Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) from arbi-
trary curved planar orbits, with shielding from the vacuum
chamber, but space charge forces are naturally included.
Our focus on the Vlasov equation will provide simulations
with lower numerical/statistical noise than standard PIC
methods, and will allow the study of issues such as emit-
tance degradation and microbunching due to space charge
and CSR in bunch compressors. The fields excited by the
bunch are computed in the lab frame from a new double in-
tegral formula. The field formula is derived from retarded
potentials by changes of variables. It is singularity-free and
requires no computation of retarded times. Ultimately, the
Vlasov equation will be integrated in beam frame coor-
dinates using our method of local characteristics. As an
important intermediate step, we have developed a "self-
consistent Monte Carlo algorithm", and a corresponding
parallel code. This gives an accurate representation of the
source and will help in understanding the PSD support. In
addition we have (1) studied carefully a 2D phase space
Vlasov analogue and (2) derived an improved expression of
the field of a 1D charge/current distribution which accounts
for the interference of different bends and other effects usu-
ally neglected. Bunch compressors will be emphasized.
INTRODUCTION
Our basic starting point is the Vlasov-Maxwell system
in 6D, i.e., we assume collisions can be ignored and that
the N-particle bunch can be approximated by a contin-
uum. Our coordinate system, (Z, X, Y), is shown in Fig.
1. We assume an external force due to a magnetic field,
Bet(R), in the Y-direction. We define a reference or-
bit, R (s) (Z (s), XT(s)), lying in the Y 0 plane,
which is a solution of the Lorentz equation for E 0
and B Bet(R)ey. Here R := (Z, X) and s is arc
length along the reference orbit. In Fig. 1 we sketched
R (s) for a 4 dipole magnetic chicane bunch compres-
sor. We focus on the evolution of S := (Ez, Ex, By)
and take (Ey, Bz, Bx) 0. We model shielding by the
vacuum chamber by taking = 0 at Y g, where
h 2g is the height of the vacuum chamber as shown
