The single-electron ($ N = 1 $) focal spot sizes of $\sim$150 microns for the $ f = 60 \text{mm} $ lens and $\sim$15 microns for the shorter $ f = 6.0 \text{mm} $ lens show marked increase starting around $ N \approx 10^{ 5 } $ and $ N \approx 10^{ 6 }$, respectively, and worsen dramatically above these thresholds.
This order of magnitude difference is fundamentally related to the greater time of flight before the focus of the $ f = 60\text{mm} $ lens; it increases the impulse that the internal Coulomb force can exert on the pulse as its charge density is increased under focusing.
A consequent further effect is a shift in the focal position to $ z > f $.
A consequent further effect is a shift in the focal position to $ z^{\prime} > f $.
A more subtle effect is that oblate pulses are more readily focused than prolate pulses --- the rate of transverse pulse broadening due to space-charge effects already being intrinsically greater in the latter (\ref{fig:compare_shape}).

%TODO? include simulations for different voltages to establish TOF argument?

Each plot's pulses begin at the lens' front focal plane at velocity $c/3$ (related to 30 kV energy) and have the same volume.
The left plots (\subref{fig:focus_long_oblate} and \subref{fig:focus_short_oblate}) are initially oblate shaped, HW1/eM width $ 500 \mu \text{m}$ and ellipticity $ \xi ( 0 ) = 0.1 $.
The right plots (\subref{fig:focus_long_prolate} and \subref{fig:focus_short_prolate}) are initially prolate shaped, HW1/eM width $ 107.7 \mu \text{m}$ and ellipticity $ \xi ( 0 ) = 10 $.
Distance traveled in column is measured relative to the lens at $z=0$, in units of the focal length.
Distance traveled in column is measured relative to the lens at $z^{\prime}=0$, in units of the focal length.
The top plots (\subref{fig:focus_long_oblate} and \subref{fig:focus_long_prolate}) have a longer focal length $f = $ 60mm compared to the bottom plots (\subref{fig:focus_short_oblate} and \subref{fig:focus_short_prolate}) $ f = $ 6.0mm.
A logarithmic scale is used for comparative clarity near the foci.
Clearly the best performance is achieved for shorter focal lengths and oblate pulses \subref{fig:focus_short_oblate} even at higher initial charge densities.

It is immediately obvious that the final transverse width is larger than in the ideal case presented in \ref{fig:spacecharge_noacc}, even in the low charge-density regime; this is primarily due to the additional divergence imparted by the negative lensing at the anode (see Section \ref{sec:gun_model}).
One can see that though the pulse size does increase beyond a certain total pulse charge, and while that trend appears to start at a higher charge, due to the complexity of the pulse dynamics it is rather difficult to compare the exact charge-density from this plot to that in the idealistic case.
What can be seen is that the transverse size increases more sharply with pulse charge at higher levels.
Since the pulse is already diverging in the transverse direction, this is compounded by the increased pulse charge.
This divergence then acts to lower the overall charge-density more quickly, thus the longitudinal pulse length is not affected as strongly as was seen in \ref{fig:spacecharge_noacc}.
Recall that the pulse is already diverging in the transverse direction, the increased pulse charge now serves to compound this action.
