Start-to-end simulation of the shot-noise driven microbunching instability experiment at the Linac Coherent Light Source

The shot-noise driven microbunching instability can significantly degrade electron beam quality in x-ray free electron laser light sources. Experiments were carried out at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) to study this instability. In this paper, we present start-to-end simulations of the shot...
