Self-consistent numerical approach to track particles in free electron laser interaction with electromagnetic field modes

In this paper we present a novel approach to free electron laser (FEL) simulations based on the decomposition of the electromagnetic field in a finite number of radiation modes. The evolution of each mode amplitude is simply determined by energy conservation. The code is developed as an expansion of...
