Vlasov solver for longitudinal dynamics in beam delivery systems for x-ray free electron lasers

Direct numerical methods for solving the Vlasov equation offer some advantages over macroparticle simulations, as they do not suffer from the consequences of the statistical fluctuations inherent in using a number of macroparticles smaller than the bunch population. Unfortunately, these methods are...
