| MOP11 | Continuous data-driven control of the GTS-LHC ion source at CERN | 56 |
|
||
| Recent advances with the CERN infrastructure for machine learning allows to deploy state-of-the-art data-driven control algorithms for stabilising and optimising particle accelerator systems. This contribution summarises the results of the first tests with different continuous control algorithms to optimise the intensity out of the CERN LINAC3 source. The task is particularly challenging due to the different latencies for control parameters that range from instantaneous response, to full response after only ~30 minutes. The next steps and a vision towards full deployment and autonomous source control will also be discussed. | ||

Role of ECRISs to reveal astrochemical processes | |
|
||
| Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) Ion Sources are widely used as the first stage of high energy (MeV – GeV) accelerators providing ion beams for versatile research fields including nuclear and particle physics. However, in the Atomki the 2nd generation 14 GHz ECR ion source operates as a standalone device opening the possibility to develop research areas requiring low energy ion beams in the range of 0.5 keV – 100 keV. One of this research fields is called astrochemistry. Astrochemistry has been the recipient of continuously increasing interest in the last few decades. The relevance of interstellar molecules to the emergence of life is strong motivation for better comprehending the astrochemical mechanisms leading to their formation and destruction. For this purpose, a new beamline and a special experimental chamber AQUILA (Atomki-Queen’s University Ice Laboratory for Astrochemistry) were installed and commissioned recently to the Atomki ECRIS. AQUILA has been purposefully designed to study the chemical evolution of ices analogous to those that may be found in the dense interstellar medium or the outer Solar System as a result of their exposure to low energy ion beams. In this contribution the carefully designed ion transport system, the way of the well-controlled irradiation methods and also the main features of the AQUILA analytic system will be presented. | ||
