This study explores the use of flat top bunch shapes to enhance modulation in a CSR (coherent synchrotron radiation) environment. By creating bunches with flat tops that span 20 modulation lengths, we aim to minimize edge effects and ensure a consistent middle plateau. The simulation projects the performance of 1500 to 2500 sub-bunches, achieving stable modulation profiles with a maximum current of 6 kA at a flat top. The work includes calculations with initial sinusoidal modulation at various wavelengths, investigating longitudinal wake effects and charge distribution through a benchmark chicane at 5 GeV.

Flat Top Bunch Shape for Modulation Enhancement Studies • Make bunches with flat tops 20 modulation lengths wide • Soften the tail drop-off to prevent edge-effects affect the middle plateau • Use 1500 –2500 sub-bunches to achieve a smoothly modulated profile • Current at flat top is 6kA • Run bunch at 5 GeV without compression through the benchmark chicane
