The main goal of the upgrade is to improve the beam brightness using a symmetrized RF-gun cavity. In the process, the photoinjector was reconfigured and some of the solenoid magnets redesigned. A challenging aspect of this optimization is that the injector should be able to produce bright low-charge (~1 nC) bunches while also being capable of operating at high-charge (~50 nC) bunches. This paper will discuss the optimization of the beam dynamics for the low- and high-charge cases and explore the performances of the proposed configuration using a model of the full AWA drive-beam beamline including 3D field maps for the external electromagnetic fields. The optimizations are performed with ASTRA and the DEAP toolbox and with OPAL.}}, }
