Abstract

Future advanced light sources and x-ray free electron lasers require fast response from the photocathode to enable short electron pulse durations as well as pulse shaping, and so the ability to model delays in emission is needed for beam optics codes. The development of a time-dependent emission model accounting for delayed photoemission due to transport and scattering is given, and its inclusion in the particle-in-cell code MICHELLE results in changes to the pulse shape that are described. The model is applied to pulse elongation of a bunch traversing an rf injector, and to the smoothing of laser jitter on a short pulse.
