Abstract	This work presents a review of the shift in tuning methods employed at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). We explore the tuning categories and methods employed in four key sections of the accelerator, namely the Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), the Drift Tube Linac (DTL), the side-Coupled Cavity Linac (CCL), and the High-Energy Beam Transport (HEBT). The study additionally presents the findings of employing novel software tools and algorithms to enhance each domain’s beam quality and performance. This study showcases the efficacy of integrating model-driven and model-independent tuning techniques, along with acceptance and adaptive tuning strategies, to enhance the optimization of beam delivery to experimental facilities. The research additionally addresses the prospective strategies for augmenting the control system and diagnostics of LANSCE.
