Coherent Edge Radiation - The edge radiation is produced at the interface of the dipole field: the entrance and the exit. - The property of the edge radiation is similar to that of the transition radiation; the radial polarization and the hollow distribution.

QUINDI Flow chart of QUINDI QUINDI is a first principles beam diagnostics simulator which calculates the radiative spectrum from a relativistic electron bunch passing through a magnetic array. (From QUINDI’s home page.) Postprocess on Matlab. Lienard-Wiechelt potentials Parallelized with MPI HDF5
