Self-Consistent Electromagnetic Modeling of Electron Sources

The modeling of high-brightness electron sources, such as photoinjectors, requires a self-consistent technique for including the electromagnetics of tight electron bunches, as well as, the appropriate conductor boundary conditions of the source. A novel and effective technique for incorporating both of these effects utilizes time-dependent Green's functions. The advantages of this method are that Green's functions are generated by Delta function sources (making them ideal for tight bunch modeling) while simultaneously satisfying the conductor boundary condition. We demonstrate how these methods are used in a newly developed code called IRPSS (Indiana Rf Photocathode Source Simulator), and show initial simulations using IRPSS.
