WEB03 | Application of Machine Learning to Beam Diagnostics | optics, network, diagnostics, controls | 311 |
|
|||
Machine Learning (ML) techniques are widely used in science and industry to discover relevant information and make predictions from data. The application ranges from face recognition to High Energy Physics experiments. Recently, the application of ML has grown also in accelerator physics and in particular in the domain of diagnostics and control. The target is to provide an overview of ML techniques and to indicate beam diagnostics tasks where ML based solutions can be efficiently applied to complement or potentially surpass existing methods. Besides, a short summary of recent works will be given demonstrating the great interest for use of ML concepts in beam diagnostics and latest results of incorporating these concepts into accelerator problems, with the focus on beam optics related application. | |||

THP013 | User Operation of Sub-Picosecond THz Coherent Transition Radiation Parasitic to a VUV FEL | electron, linac, radiation, FEL | 621 |
|
|||
Coherent transition radiation is enhanced in intensity and extended in frequency spectral range by the electron beam manipulation in the beam dump beam line of the FERMI FEL, by exploiting the interplay of coherent synchrotron radiation instability and electron beam optics [1]. Experimental observations at the TeraFERMI beamline [2] confirm intensity peaks at around 1 THz and extending up to 8.5 THz, for up to 80 µJ pulse energy integrated over the full bandwidth. By virtue of its implementation in an FEL beam dump line, this work might stimulate the development of user-oriented multi-THz beamlines parasitic and self-synchronized to VUV and X-ray FELs.

THP061 | Bayesian Optimisation for Fast and Safe Parameter Tuning of SwissFEL | FEL, undulator, feedback, controls | 707 |
|
|||
Parameter tuning is a notoriously time-consuming task in accelerator facilities. As tool for global optimization with noisy evaluations, Bayesian optimization was recently shown to outperform alternative methods. By learning a model of the underlying function using all available data, the next evaluation can be chosen carefully to find the optimum with as few steps as possible and without violating any safety constraints. However, the per-step computation time increases significantly with the number of parameters and the generality of the approach can lead to slow convergence on functions that are easier to optimize. To overcome these limitations, we divide the global problem into sequential subproblems that can be solved efficiently using safe Bayesian optimization. This allows us to trade off local and global convergence and to adapt to additional structure in the objective function. Further, we provide slice-plots of the function as user feedback during the optimization. We showcase how we use our algorithm to tune up the FEL output of SwissFEL with up to 40 parameters simultaneously, and reach convergence within reasonable tuning times in the order of 30 minutes (< 2000 steps). | |||
