The H2020 CompactLight Project aims for the design of innovative, cost-effective, compact FEL facilities to generate higher peak brilliance radiation in the soft and hard X-ray. In this paper we assess via simulation studies the performance of a variably polarising APPLE-X afterburner positioned downstream of a helical Super Conducting Undulator (SCU). We discuss the optimum balance between the active SCU length and the afterburner length, considering the peak brilliance and pulse energy of the output. Our studies are complemented with analysis of the optical beam quality of the afterburner output to determine the design constraints of the photon beamline that delivers the FEL output to the experimental areas.

  Machine learning algorithms were used for image and parameter recognition and generation with the aim to optimise the CLARA facility at Daresbury, using start-to-end simulation data. Convolutional and fully connected neural networks were trained using TensorFlow-Keras for different instances, with examples including predicting Longitudinal Phase Space (LPS) images with machine parameters as input and FEL parameter prediction (e.g. pulse energy) from LPS images. The K-means clustering algorithm was used to cluster the LPS images to highlight patterns within the data. Machine learning techniques can enhance the way large amounts of data are processed and analysed and so have great potential for application in accelerator science R&D.
