A high peak current, flat longitudinal phase space electron beam is desirable for efficient X-ray free electron laser (FEL) radiation in next generation light sources. To attain such a beam requires the extensive design of the linear accelerator (linac) including both linear and nonlinear effects. In this paper, we propose a lumped longitudinal beam dynamics model for fast optimization of the electron beam longitudinal phase space through the accelerator. This model is much faster than available tracking programs and also shows good agreement with the fully three-dimensional element-by-element multiparticle simulations. We applied this model in a parallel multiobjective differential evolution optimization program to an existing LCLS-II superconducting linac design and obtained an optimal solution with significantly higher core peak current than the original design.
