affected by the environment - each bunch loses energy in the form of wakefields, which in turn affects the overall beam impedance. Furthermore, much of the lost energy ends up as thermal energy in the environment [...] heat spots in the undulator. Therefore, an accurate method to model the wakefields and beam impedance inside an undulator would be a very useful tool in understanding and optimising the performance of [...] computational resources. This is due to both the complex geometry of modern undulators and the suboptimal numerical methods employed by current commercial software. The first goal of this project is to produce
