Abstract
During the last year we have been benchmarking FEL
oscillator simulation codes against the measured
performance of the three Jefferson Lab oscillator FELs.
While one might think that a full 4D simulation is de
facto the best predictor of performance, the simulations
are computationally intensive, even when analytical
approximations to the electron bunch longitudinal
distribution are used. In this presentation we compare the
predictions of the 4D FEL interaction codes Genesis and
Medusa, in combination with the optical code OPC, with
those using a combination of the 2D & 3D versions of
these codes, which can be run quickly on a single CPU
core desktop computer.
