Algorithm for loading shot noise microbunching in multidimensional, free-electron laser simulation codes

We discuss the underlying reasoning behind and the details of the numerical algorithm used in the GINGER free-electron laser simulation code to load the initial shot noise microbunching on the electron beam. In particular, we point out that there are some additional subtleties which must be followed...
