AXSIS (Attosecond X-ray Science: Imaging and Spectroscopy) is a compact, accelerator-driven X-ray source currently under construction at DESY Hamburg. It comprises a THz-powered electron gun and THz-driven linac for all-optical electron extraction and acceleration to several MeV with the goal of providing X-rays generated by inverse Compton scattering for photon science experiments. For the commissioning and characterisation of the THz gun and linac the facility includes a dedicated accelerator testing area, for which an electron diagnostic beamline has been designed and is currently under construction. The challenges imposed by the AXSIS project on the development of the diagnostics beamline are the wide ranges of bunch charge (15 fC to 3 pC) and energy (5 MeV to 20 MeV) expected from the THz-driven accelerator as well as the limited available space of only ca. 2.5 metres length. In this contribution we present an overview of the design and the current commissioning status of the electron diagnostic beamline as well as plans for future steps.

  The ARES linear accelerator at the SINBAD facility (DESY) is dedicated to perform accelerator R&D studies with sub-fs short electron bunches to test novel acceleration techniques and diagnostics devices. Currently, the commissioning of the linac is ongoing and first experiments are being performed. For this, the knowledge of the full phase space of the particle beams is of high interest to, for example, optimize the accelerator performance and identify possible errors in the beam line. Tomographic methods can be used to gain insight into the full 4D transverse phase space and its correlations. Here, simulation results and first experimental preparations of a 4D transverse phase-space tomography of electron bunches at ARES are presented and discussed.

Reinforcement Learning algorithms have risen in popularity in recent years in the accelerator physics community, showing potential in beam control and in the optimization and automation of tasks in accelerator operation. The Helmholtz AI project "Machine Learning toward Autonomous Accelerators" is a collaboration between DESY and KIT that works on investigating and developing RL applications for the automatic start-up of electron linear accelerators. The work is carried out in parallel at two similar research accelerators: ARES at DESY and FLUTE at KIT, giving the unique opportunity of transfer learning between facilities. One of the first steps of this project is the establishment of a common interface between the simulations and the machine, in order to test and apply various optimization approaches interchangeably between the two accelerators. In this paper we present the first results on the common interface and its application to beam focusing in ARES, and the idea of laser shaping with spatial light modulators at FLUTE.

  The linear accelerator ARES (Accelerator Research Experiment at SINBAD) is a new research facility at DESY. Electron bunches with a maximum repetition rate of 50 Hz are accelerated up to 155 MeV. The facility aims for ultra-stable sub-femtosecond arrival-times and high peak-currents at the experiment, placing high demands on the reference distribution and field regulation of the S-band RF structures. In this paper, we report on the current status of the RF reference generation, facility-wide distribution, and the LLRF systems of the RF structures.

  The linear accelerator ARES (Accelerator Research Experiment at SINBAD) is a new research facility at DESY. Electron bunches with a maximum repetition rate of 50 Hz are accelerated to a target energy of 155 MeV. The facility aims for ultra-stable sub-femtosecond arrival-times and high peak-currents at the experiment, placing high demands on the reference distribution and field regulation of the RF structure. In this contribution, we present the physical parameter estimation of key RF properties such as cavity detuning not directly measurable on the RF field decay. The method can be used as a fast monitor of inner cell temperature. The estimated properties are finally compared with the measured ones.
