We describe the application of the Conformal Finite Integration Technique (CFIT) in the time-domain to beam dynamics simulations with the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method. The conformal method results in a more accurate field solution for complicated geometries than the traditional FIT approach. For long-time simulations we investigate several methods for the suppression of the spurious noise, typically emerging in PIC simulations. The results are compared with the analytical solution for a bunch in a semi-infinite waveguide for each of the presented methods. As a realistic example simulations for the RF-Gun installed at Photo Injector Test Facility in DESY Zeuthen (PITZ) will be presented.

Recent efforts in the development of electron sources are aiming at high intensity electron beams, beyond the limitations posed by space-charge effects in conventional guns. Field emitter arrays, multi-beam and sheet-beam guns are a few examples of emerging technology, which require an accurate characterization of the limiting current in complicated 3D-geometry. The newly developed gun code at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, implements a novel approach to the numerical simulation of space-charge-limited electron emission, which is based on the local conservation of charge for arbitrary cathode surfaces. It is shown that, imposing exact charge conservation using the CAD-data of the geometry eliminates the spurious oscillations in the charge density, which typically arise when the piecewise-planar diode approximation is applied in the simulation. The accuracy of this approach is demonstrated in the validation study of a spherical diode and in the large-scale simulation of a Traveling Wave Tube amplifier.
