Abstract External seeding and self-seeding schemes are particularly sensitive to distortions and fluctuations in the electron beam profile. Wakefields and the microbunching instability are important sources of such imperfections. Even at modest levels, their influence can degrade the spectrum and decrease the output brightness. These effects are evaluated for seeded FELs at the soft X-ray beam line of LCLS-II. FEL simulations are performed in GENESIS based on various realistic electron distributions obtained using the IMPACT tracking code. The sensitivity depends on both the seeding scheme and the output wavelength.
