7.59 sasefel

• type: setup/action command.
• function: set parameters for computation of SASE FEL gain and other properties.
• sequence: must follow run_setup and precede beam definition (bunched_beam or sdds_beam).
• Command syntax, including use of equations and subcommands, is discussed in 7.2.

• output — The (incomplete) filename of an SDDS file to which output will be written.
• model — The name of the FEL model used. At present, only one model is supported; the “Ming-Xie” model is based on the simple parametrization M. Xie[13].
• beta — The value of the beta function, in meters.
• undulator_K — The K parameter of the undulator.
• undulator_period — The undulator period, in meters.
• slice_fraction, n_slices — The fraction of beam beam contained by each analysis slice and the number of such slices. By default, no slice analysis is done. Instead, the beam is analyzed only as a whole. If slice_fraction*n_slices is less than 1, then the slice analysis is centered on the median of the time distribution. E.g., if n_slices=1 and slice_fraction=0.1, then the central 10% of the beam would be analyzed. More typically, one gives values such that slice_fraction*n_slices is equal to 1, so that every part of the beam is analyzed. There are separate values in the output file for each slice, plus the whole-beam and slice-averaged results.
