3D VSim results showing the longitudinal phase space evolution of the witness bunch just before release of the escort bunch (a) after Δz_acc≈0.35 cm of dechirping (b) and at z_acc≈2.4 cm at optimum dechirping (c). Further counter-clockwise phase-space rotation generates bunches with positive energy chirps (d). (e,f) show the fully dechirped case and the overchirped case, respectively, where the witness (purple) and escort (green) beam are clearly separated by energy.
