Abstract

A numerical technique is described, which follows the motion of the entire electron distribution in a storage ring laser. The laser gain and electron distribution parameters such as energy spread, bunch length, damping rates, and containment time are discussed, both with and without the use of the gain expansion technique. The limits of validity of the onedimensional approximation are defined.
