MOPWI028 | Initial Experimental Results of a Machine Learning-Based Temperature Control System for an RF Gun | 1217 |
|
||
Colorado State University (CSU) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) have been developing a control system to regulate the resonant frequency of an RF electron gun. As part of this effort, we present experimental results for a benchmark temperature controller that combines a machine learning-based model and a predictive control algorithm for improved settling time, overshoot, and disturbance rejection relative to conventional techniques. Such improvements have implications for machine up-time and management of reflected power. This work is part of an on-going effort to develop adaptive, machine learning-based tools specifically to address control challenges found in particle accelerator systems. | ||

TUPJE080 | First Beam and High-Gradient Cryomodule Commissioning Results of the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator at Fermilab | 1831 |
|
||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. The advanced superconducting test accelerator at Fermilab has accelerated electrons to 20 MeV and, separately, the International Linear Collider (ILC) style 8-cavity cryomodule has achieved the ILC performance milestone of 31.5 MV/m per cavity. When fully completed, the accelerator will consist of a photoinjector, one ILC-type cryomodule, multiple accelerator R&D beamlines, and a downstream beamline to inject 300 MeV electrons into the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA). We report on the results of first beam, the achievement of our cryomodule to ILC gradient specifications, and near-term future plans for the facility. |
