  FEL user facilities often must accommodate requests for a variety of beam parameters. This usually requires skilled operators to tune the machine, reducing the amount of available time for users. In principle, a neural network control policy that is trained on a broad range of operating states could be used to quickly switch between these requests without substantial need for human intervention. We present preliminary results from an ongoing study in which a neural network control policy is investigated for rapid switching between beam parameters in a compact THz FEL.

  Free-electron lasers (FELs) that produce different polarizations of the output radiation ranging from linear through elliptic to circular polarization are currently under study. In particular, elliptic polarizations are undergoing increased interest. In this paper, we develop an analytic model of the resonant wavelength and JJ-factor for an elliptic undulator as well as both one- and three-dimensional, time-dependent formulations that are capable of simulating elliptic undulators using the PUFFIN and MINERVA simulation codes.*,** We present an analytic model of an APPLE-II undulator that is capable of modeling arbitrary elliptic polarizations, and discuss examples of simulation results.
