As part of the Beam Energy Scan (BES) physics program, RHIC operated in Fixed Target mode at various beam energies in 2020. The fixed target experiment, achieved by scraping the beam halo of the circulating beam on a gold ring inserted in the beam pipe upstream of the experimental detectors, extends the range of the center-of-mass energy for BES. The machine configuration, control of rates, and results of the fixed target experiment operation in 2020 will be presented in this report.

  LHC can host above 2700 proton bunches per ring providing collisions in the ATLAS, CMS, LHCb and ALICE interaction points. ATLAS and CMS are placed symmetrically so that they feature the same colliding bunch pairs. However this is not the case for LHCb, hence introducing unwanted bunch-by-bunch variations of the bunch intensity as the physics fill evolves. We present first analytical derivations, numerical simulations and experimental data in different bunch train collision configurations.

  The circular electron positron collider (CEPC) is a candidate for the next-generation electron positron collider, which can be used to accurately measure the Higgs and electroweak bosons. The RF shield bellow is a vacuum component necessary for the construction of CEPC. Therefore, a RF shield bellow model machine with an elliptical cross-section was designed and processed for technical verification. Based on the traditional interdigital structure, a special contact force testing device was also designed to reduce measurement errors. The on-off status of the circuit was used by the device to determine whether the spring finger was pulled up, thus reducing the influences of human factors in the measurement process. It can be known from the measurement results of the model machine that the contact force of the spring finger is between 120g and 130g, which can satisfy the technical requirements.

  The formula relevant for linear optics design of synchrotrons are derived systematically from first principles, i.e., an exercise in Hamiltonian dynamics. Equipped with these, the relevant use cases are then captured; for a streamlined approach. To enable professionals, i.e., software engineers, to efficiently prototype & architect a CAD tool available to mechanical engineers since the mid-1960s. In other words, robust design of a modern synchrotron is an exercise in/pursuit of the art of Engineering-Science.

The APS booster is a 7-GeV electron synchrotron with a 0.5-second cycle. The booster runs a set of injection control programs that correct the beam trajectory in the horizontal and longitudinal planes, and the betatron tunes. Recently we developed a single-turn BPM controllaw program for horizontal trajectory control to replace the previous FFT based horizontal controllaw program. We present the system configuration and results.

C-Band structures research is of increasing interest to the accelerator community. The RF frequency range of 4-6 GHz gives the opportunity to achieve significant increase in the accelerating gradient, and having the wakefields at the manageable levels, while keeping the geometric dimensions of the structure technologically convenient. Strong team of scientists, including theorists researching properties of metals under stressful thermal conditions and high electromagnetic fields, metallurgists working with copper as well as alloys of interest, and accelerator scientists developing new structure designs, is formed at LANL to develop a CERF-NM facility. A 50 MW, 5.712 GHz Canon klystron, was purchased in 2019, and laid the basis for this facility. As of Jan-21, the construction of the Test Stand has been finished and the high gradient processing of the waveguide components has been started. Future plans include high gradient testing of various accelerating structures, including benchmark C-band accelerating cavity, a proton ß=0.5 cavity, and cavities made from different alloys. An upgrade to the facility is planned to allow for testing accelerator cavities at cryogenic temperatures.

MOPAB198 Study on Magnet Sorting of the CSNS/RCS Dipoles dipole, closed-orbit, MMI, neutron 665

  The 1.6GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a high-power pulsed proton machine aiming for 500kW output beam power. Now, the routine output beam power has been increased to 100kW. However, the horizontal bare orbit in the ring is large (15mm) and the number of correctors is small, which brings great challenges to the ramp-up of beam power. It is found that the bare orbit in AC mode is 3-4mm larger than that in DC mode. The reason is that the AC dipoles field error is larger than DC dipoles field error. Therefore, it is proposed to sort dipoles again according to the AC dipoles field error. In order to reduce the risk of beam commissioning, fewer magnets should to be moved to achieve smaller orbit. The best results of moving two to six magnets were calculated. After sorting, the orbit can be reduced by 3-4mm, which reduces the difficulty of orbit correction.

  The J-PARC muon g-2/EDM experiment aims to measure the anomalous magnetic moment(g-2) and electric dipole moment(EDM) of the muon with higher precision than the previous BNL E821 experiment. A brand-new three-dimensional spiral injection scheme is employed to inject and store muon beam into a 66 cm diameter of storage magnet. Feasibility studies are ongoing by use of 80 keV electron beam at KEK test bench, to develop skills on control transverse beam motion; so-called X-Y coupling, with DC beam. As a next step, towards store the beam by use of a kicker system, a pulsed beam should be generated from the DC beam with an intended time structure to meet a pulse kicker’s duration time, without changing transverse phase space characteristics. In this presentation, the development of a beam chopper device and the evaluation of pulse beam profile are discussed.

Bunch arrival time monitor (BAM) is an important tool to investigate the temporal characteristic of electron bunch in free electron lasers (FEL). Since the timing jitter of electron bunch will affect the FEL’s stability and the resolution of time-resolved experiment at FELs, it is nec-essary to precisely measure the electron bunch’s arrival time information to stabilize the electron bunch’s timing jitter using beam-based feedback. The BAM based on electro-optic modulator (EOM) is currently being devel-oping for Shanghai high-repetition-rate XFEL and Ex-treme light facility (SHINE). And the first BAM prototype has been installed on SXFEL for beam test. The beam test result shows that the estimated resolution of the pro-totype is about 27.5 fs rms.

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.

  Low emittance electron beams are of high importance at facilities like the LCLS-II at SLAC. Emittance dilution effects due to off-axis beam transport for a TESLA-type cryomodule (CM) have been shown at the Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology facility. The results showed the correlation between the electron beam-induced cavity high-order modes (HOMs) and submacropulse centroid slewing and oscillation downstream of the CM. Mitigation of emittance dilution can be achieved by reducing the HOM signals and the variances in the submacropulse beam positions downstream of the CM. Here we present a Machine Learning based optimization and model construction for HOM signal level reduction using Neural Networks and Gaussian Processes. To gather training data we performed experiments using single bunch and 50 bunch electron beams with charges up to 125 pC/b. We measured HOM signals of all cavities and beam position with a set of BPMs downstream of the CM. The beam trajectory was changed using V/H125 corrector set located upstream of the CM. The results presented here will inform the LCLS-II injector commissioning and will serve as a prototype for HOM reduction and emittance preservation.

Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities with high loaded quality factors that operate in continuous wave (CW) and low beam loading are sensitive to microphonics-induced detuning. Cavity detuning can result in an increase of operational power and/or in a cavity quench. Such SRF cavities have bandwidths on the order of 10 Hz and detuning requirements can be as tight as 10 Hz. Passive methods to mitigate vibration sources and their impact in the cryomodule/cavity environment are widely used. Active resonance control techniques that use stepper motors and piezoelectric actuators to tune the cavity resonance frequency by compensating for microphonics detuning have been investigated. These control techniques could be further improved by applying Machine Learning (ML), which has shown promising results in other particle accelerator control systems. In this paper, we describe a Low-level RF (LLRF) and resonance control system based on ML methods that optimally and adaptively tunes the control parameters. We present simulations and test results obtained using a low power test bench with a cavity emulator.

  A fast tune measurement is developed for the Cooler Synchrotron COSY at the Institut für Kernphysik of Forschungszentrum Jülich. Betatron oscillations of the beam are excited with a band-limited RF signal via a stripline kicker. Resonant transverse oscillations are then observed using capacitive beam position monitors. Based on the bunch-by-bunch beam position data the betatron tune is determined. The usage of bunch-by-bunch data is characteristic of the new system. It allows for a discrete tune measurement within a few milliseconds, as well as continuous tune monitoring during beam acceleration. The high precision tune measurement also enables determination of the beam chromaticity. Therefore, the beam momentum is varied by means of the RF frequency and the subsequent tune change is determined. For routine use during beam operation and experiments, the developed method is integrated into the control system.

MOPAB320 The CMS ECAL Enfourneur: A Gigantic Machine with a Soft Touch operation, alignment, insertion, experiment 986
 
  • V. Pettinacci
    INFN-Roma, Roma, Italy
 
  The electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the CMS experiment at the LHC is composed of 75848 scintillating lead tungstate crystals arranged in a barrel section and two endcaps. The barrel part is made of 36 supermodules (SM), 2.7 tons each, and is installed inside the CMS magnet. There are 18 SMs on each side of CMS, with each SM containing 1700 crystals. During Long Shutdown 3, all ECAL SMs must be extracted to refurbish the electronics in preparation for HL-LHC. A dedicated machine called the "Enfourneur" is used to extract and re-insert the SMs inside CMS, with a required accuracy of about 1mm. In order to speed up the extraction and insertion process, two Enfourneurs will be employed, operating in parallel on both sides. In view of the purchase of the second Enfourneur, the design has been improved, starting from the feedback of past operations. The improvements to the new Enfourneur design include increased space for the operators, optimization of the operations and the controls with the use of electric motors, and an updated alignment system. Handling plans inside the CMS cavern have been defined in order to be compliant with the rest of CMS structures and procedures.

  Schlieren imaging was explored for flow visualising of a gas jet in vacuum for beam profile monitor application. In supersonic gas jet based beam profile monitors, the high density jet flows through various differentially pumped skimmer stages before being shaped into a sheet. Schlieren imaging is a well known technique used in aerodynamic studies to visualise gas flow. This technique is explained in the paper along with a gist of other flow visualisation techniques. An Z-type schlieren imaging setup used to view the high density flow features of a pulsed supersonic gas jet inside vacuum is described in detail. Flow around a Pitot probe in supersonic flow was simulated and the resultant density profile obtained was compared with the image obtained using schlieren imaging. The flow features including a detached shock around the tip of the probe was observable at medium and high vacuum after processing the image. Image processing algorithms and tools useful for this application are also discussed.

  For carrying out bead-pull characterisation of RFQ and DTL at the Low Energy High Intensity Proton Accelerator of BARC, a controller for simultaneous motion of 64 axis, tuners or post couplers, was developed. Also, a bead motion controller with integrated phase measurement sensor was developed. The paper discusses the requirements of the system, the architecture of the control systems, operation and results. The results obtained from the sensor was compared to that obtained using an independent USB VNA. The advantages of the system especially with addition of internal phase measurement sensor including minimising position error, flexibility in beadpull to selectively increase resolution at specified locations and ease of implementing auto-tuning algorithms are discussed.

  In this work, we apply multi-objective optimization methods to single-cell cavity models generated using non-uniform rational basis splines (NURBS). This modeling method uses control points and a NURBS to generate the cavity geometry, which allows for greater flexibility in the shape, leading to improved performance. Using this approach and multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs) we find the Pareto frontiers for the typical key quantities of interest (QoI) including peak fields, shunt impedance and the modified Poynting vector. Visualizing these results becomes increasingly more difficult as the number of objectives increases, therefore, in order to understand these frontiers, we provide several techniques for analyzing, visualizing and using multi-dimensional Pareto fronts specifically for RF cavity design.

As part of the 5 MW European Spallation Source (ESS), the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) was designed, assembled, and installed in the tunnel since May 2020 by ESS-Bilbao. This section of the accelerator is located between the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and the Drift Tube Linac (DTL). The main purpose of the MEBT is to match the incoming beam from the RFQ both transversely and longitudinally into the DTL. The longitudinal matching is achieved by three 352.209 MHz RF buncher cavities. In this paper, we focus on the RF conditioning process for each set of power coupler and buncher cavity. For this purpose, different tools were developed on EPICS and Python as well as electronics hardware such as Fast Interlock Module (FIM) and timing system. These tools served to automatize both the cavity frequency tuning and the power ramp-up process and will be described in detail in the following sections.

  Funding: This work was supported by High Energy Photon Source, a major national science and technology infrastructure in China.
A digital low-level radio frequency (LLRF) system by direct sampling has been proposed for 166.6 MHz superconducting cavities at High Energy Photon Source (HEPS). The RF field inside the cavities has to be controlled better than ±0.1% (peak to peak) in amplitude and ±0.1 deg (peak to peak) in phase. Considering that the RF frequency is 166.6 MHz, which is well within the analog bandwidth of modern high-speed ADCs and DACs, direct RF sampling and direct digital modulation can be achieved. A digital LLRF system utilizing direct sampling has therefore been developed with embedded experimental physics and industrial control system (EPICS) in the field programmable gate array (FPGA). The performance in the lab has been characterized in a self-closed loop with a residual peak-to-peak noise of ±0.05% in amplitude and ±0.03 deg in phase, which is well below the HEPS specifications. Further tests on a warm 166.6 MHz cavity in the lab are also presented.

  Rapid progress in the performance of Nb3Sn SRF cavities during the last few years has made Nb3Sn an energy efficient alternative to traditional Nb cavities, thereby initiating a fundamental shift in SRF technology. These Nb3Sn cavities can operate at significantly higher temperatures than Nb cavities while simultaneously requiring less cooling power. This critical property enables the use of new, robust, turn-key style cryogenic cooling schemes based on conduction cooling with commercial cryocoolers. Cornell University has developed and tested a 2.6 GHz Nb3Sn cavity assembly which utilizes such cooling methods. These tests have demonstrated stable RF operation at 10 MV/m and the measured thermal dynamics match what is found in numerical simulations.

  A Ferro-Electric fast Reactive Tuner (FE-FRT) is a novel type of RF cavity tuner containing a low loss ferroelectric material. FE-FRTs have no moving parts and allow cavity frequencies to be changed extremely quickly (on the timescale of 100s of ns or less). They are of particular interest for SRF cavities as they can be placed outside the liquid helium environment and without an FE-FRT it’s typically very difficult to tune SRF cavities quickly. FE-FRTs can be used for a wide variety of use cases including microphonics suppression, RF switching, and transient beam loading compensation. This promises entirely new operational capabilities, increased performance and cost savings for a variety of existing and proposed accelerators. An overview of the theory and potential applications will be discussed in detail.

  Temperature measurements have been performed in the PF-ring tunnel in order to understand the infrastructure performance and the temperature stability towards the PF upgrade project, where better beam stability will be required. Based on the temperature measurements, possible improvements of the PF-ring infrastructure such as an air-conditioning system have been studied to enhance the temperature stability in the PF-ring tunnel. In this paper, we present results of the temperature measurements in the PF-ring tunnel and a proposal of the PF-ring infrastructure improvements for the temperature stabilization.

  A multi-pass recirculating superconducting CW linac offers a cost effective path to a multi-user facility with unprecedented scientific and industrial reach over a wide range of disciplines. We propose such a facility as an option for a potential UK-XFEL. Energy Recovery enables multi-MHz FEL sources, for example, an X-ray FEL oscillator or regenerative amplifier FEL. Additionally, combining with external lasers and/or self-interaction would provide access to MeV and GeV gamma-rays via inverse Compton scattering at high average power for nuclear and particle physics applications. An opportunity exists to demonstrate the necessary point-to-parallel longitudinal matches to drive an XFEL and successfully energy recover at the upcoming 5-pass up, 5-pass down Energy Recovery experiment on CEBAF at JLab termed ER@CEBAF. We show candidate matches and simulations supporting the minimal necessary modifications to CEBAF this will require. This includes linearisation of the longitudinal phase space in the injector and a reduction in the dispersion of the arcs, both of which increase the energy acceptance of CEBAF. We expect to commence initial tests of these adaptations on CEBAF during 2021.

The Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment (FLUTE) is a KIT-operated linac-based test facility for accelerator research and development as well as a compact, ultra-broadband and short-pulse terahertz (THz) source. As a key component of FLUTE, the bunch compressor (chicane) consisting of four specially designed dipoles will be used to compress the 40-50 MeV electron bunches after the linac down to single fs bunch length. The maximum vertical magnetic field of the dipoles reach 0.22 T, with an effective length of 200 mm. The good field region is ±40 mm and ±10.5 mm in the horizontal and vertical direction, respectively. The latest measurement results of the dipoles in terms of field homogeneity, excitation and field reproducibility within the good field regions will be reported, which meet the predefined specifications. The measured 3D magnetic field distributions have been used to perform beam dynamics simulations of the bunch compressor. Effects of the real field properties on the beam dynamics, which are different from that of the ASTRA built-in dipole field, will be discussed.

  The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a high intensity hadron pulse facility which achieved the design goal in March, 2020. The Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) is the important part of the CSNS which accelerates the proton beam from 80MeV to 1.6GeV. During the high intensity commissioning of the RCS, an local orbit correction application was developed. Because of the good performance of the local orbit controlling at the ramping stage, the beam loss was optimized effectively in the process of the acceleration. In the paper, the efficiency of the beam loss optimization during the acceleration is given and the future plans were proposed.

  Tetrode vacuum tubes in the J-PARC RCS are used under a reduced filament voltage condition compared with the rating value to prolong the tube life time. One tube reached the end of life in 2020; it was the first case in the RCS after 60,000 hours operation time. This means the reduced filament voltage works well because the tube has been running beyond an expected life time suggested by the tube manufacturer. However, an electron emission from the filament is decreased by the reduced filament voltage. Although the large amplitude of the anode current is necessary for the high intensity beam acceleration to compensate an wake voltage, a solid-state amplifier to drive a control grid circuit almost reaches the output power limit because of the poor electron emission. We changed the filament voltage reduction rate from 15 % to 5 %; the required power of the solid-state amplifier was fairly reduced, whereas the accelerated beam power was same. We will describe the measurement results of the vacuum tube parameters in terms of the filament voltage tuning.

We discuss electromagnetic simulations of accelerating structures in a high performance computing (HPC) system. Our overarching goal is to resolve the linac operation in a large ensemble of initial beam conditions. This requires a symbiotic relation between the electromagnetic solver and HPC. The linac is being developed by Ion Linac Systems to produce a low-energy, high-current, proton beam. We use VSim, an electromagnetic solver and PIC software developed by Tech-X to determine the electromagnetic fundamental mode of operation of the accelerating structures and discuss its implementation at the THETA supercomputer in the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility.

While the APS linac lattice is set up using a model developed with ELEGANT, the thermionic RF gun front end beam dynamics has been difficult to model. One of the issues is that beam properties from the thermionic gun can vary from time to time. As a result, linac front end beam tuning is required to establish good matching and maximize the charge transported through the linac. We have been using a traditional simplex optimizer to find the best settings for the gun front end magnets and steering magnets. However, it takes a long time and requires some fair initial conditions. Therefore, we imported other on-line optimizers, such as robust conjugate direction search (RCDS) which is a classic optimizer as simplex, multi-objective particle swarm (MOPSO), and multi-generation gaussian process optimizer (MG-GPO) which is based on machine learning technique. In this paper we report our experience with these on-line optimizers for maximum bunch charge transportation efficiency through the linac.

In recent years there has been a rapid growth in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in accelerators. As the scale of complexity and sophistication of modern accelerators grows, the difficulties in modeling the machine increase greatly in order to include all the interacting subsystems and to consider the limitation of various diagnostics to benchmark against measurements. Tools based on ML can help substantially in revealing correlations of machine condition and beam parameters that are not easily discovered using traditional physics model-based simulations, reducing machine tuning up time etc among the many possible applications. While at APS we have many excellent tools for the optimization, diagnostics, and controls of the accelerators, we do not yet have ML-based tools established. It is our desire to test ML in our machine operation, optimization, and controls. In this paper, we introduce the application of neural networks to the APS linac bunch charge transmission efficiency.

Algorithms used today for accelerator optimization assume a simple proportional relationship between an intermediate tuning parameter and the resultant field or mechanism which influences the beam. This neglects the effects of hysteresis, where the magnetic or mechanical response depends not only on the current parameter value, but also on the historical parameter values. This prevents the use of one to one surrogate models, such as Gaussian processes, to assist in optimization when hysteresis effects are not negligible, since identical points in input space no longer correspond to a same point in output space. In this work, we demonstrate how Bayesian inference can be used in conjunction with Gaussian processes to jointly model both the hysteresis cycle of magnetic elements and the beam response. Using this technique we demonstrate how to model the hysteresis cycle of a magnet during accelerator operation in situ by only measuring the beam response, without direct magnetic field measurements. This allows us to quickly build accurate statistical models of the beam response that can be used for rapid tuning of accelerators where hysteresis effects are dominant.

  The electron beam for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory is generated from a thermionic RF gun and accelerated by an S-band linear accelerator – the APS linac. While the APS linac lattice is set up using a model developed with ELEGANT, the thermionic RF gun front-end beam dynamics have been difficult to model. One of the issues is that beam properties from thermionic guns can vary. As a result, linac front-end beam tuning is required to establish good matching and maximize the charge transported through the linac. A traditional Nelder-Mead simplex optimizer has been used to find the best settings for the sixteen quadrupoles and steering magnets. However, it takes a long time and requires some fair initial conditions. The Gaussian Process (GP) optimizer does not have the initial condition limitation and runs several times faster. In this paper, we report our data collection and analysis for the training of the GP hyperparameters and discuss the application of GP optimizer on the APS linac front-end optimization for maximum bunch charge transportation efficiency through the linac.

TUPAB291 Subsystem Level Data Acquisition for the Optical Synchronization System at European XFEL FEL, laser, data-acquisition, database 2167

  The optical synchronization system for the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser provides sub-10 femtosecond timing precision * for the accelerator subsystems and experiments. This is achieved by phase locking a mode-locked laser oscillator to the main RF reference and distributing the optical pulse train carrying the time information via actively propagation-time stabilized optical fibers to multiple end-stations. Making up roughly one percent of the entire European XFEL, it is the first subsystem to receive a large-scale data acquisition system [2] for storing not just hand-selected information, but in fact all diagnostic, monitoring, and configuration data relevant to the optical synchronization available from the distributed control system infrastructure. A minimum of 100 TB per year may be stored in a persistent archive for long-term health monitoring and data mining whereas excess data is stored in a short-term ring buffer for high-resolution fault analysis and feature extraction algorithm development. This paper describes scale, challenges and first experiences from the optical synchronization data acquisition system.

The ReAccelerator (ReA) at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University is a unique facility, as it offers the possibility to reaccelerate not only stable, but rare-isotope beams produced by fast-projectile fragmentation or fission. At ReA, beams are accelerated using a Radio-Frequency-Quadrupole and a superconducting linear accelerator before being delivered to experiments. Beam preparation time plays a major role in the availability of beams to experiments. One of the major time consuming tasks is the linac phasing, since there are 23 resonator cavities to be phased, usually with very low beam intensities. This procedure was automated using a combination of EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Controls System) In/Output Controllers (IOCs) and IOC triggered scripts to scan the resonator phase delay and measure the change in beam energy. We have developed user-friendly tools to phase the linac, which have been tested, making the task of phasing substantially easier. In this presentation, we will present our methodology, challenges faced, tools developed, and initial results of the application for automating the phasing of the ReA linac.

The Argonne Wakefiled Accelerator (AWA) Test Facility designed and operated a homemade LLRF system for the last 20 years. It is based on NI-PXI products that has now become obsolete. The AWA’s LLRF cannot keep up with the increasing stability demands of AWA’s upgraded facility. An overhaul of the system is strongly desired. With the support from DOE-HEP, the AWA is collaborating with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)to upgrade its LLRF system with modern instrumentation to meet the growing stability demands. An overview of AWA’s current LLRF system performance is presented together with the upgrade plan and expectations.

  At RIKEN Nishina Center, superconducting RIKEN Linear Accelerator (SRILAC) was newly installed at downstream of existing accelerator and upgraded for the search experiments of super-heavy-elements with atomic numbers of 119 and higher. For the data archiving and the data visualization in RI Beam Factory (RIBF) project, we have utilized RIBFCAS (RIBF control archive system) since 2009. For the number of archived data point was expected to increase dramatically for SRILAC, we introduced the Archiver Appliance for improvement of the data archiving performance. On the other hand, to realize a user-friendly system about the data visualization, the data of RIBFCAS and the Archiver Appliance should be visualized on the same system. In this system, by implementing a Web application to convert the RIBFCAS data to JSON format, it became possible to unify the data format with the Archiver Appliance and display the data with the same viewer software. In the SRILAC beam commissioning, it became to useful system for finding anomalies and understanding the behavior of superconducting cavity. In this conference, we report the system implementation, developed tool, and the future plan in detail.

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.

  Stochastic cooling is one of the crucial NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) subsystems. This system requires fine tuning of the response delay to the kicker, for both longitudinal and transverse stochastic cooling systems. The use of a digital delay line allows to add additional features such as a frequency dependent group velocity correction. To analyse the capabilities of the digital delay unit, a prototype of the device was created and tested. The article presents the characteristics of the prototype, its architecture and principle of operation, test results and estimations for the future developments.

As a first proof of principle, we implemented a closed-loop optimization software controller based on bi-objective Genetic Optimization*. As one property for optimization we used the ion beam current measured with a Faraday-cup detector. As second optimization-property we the on-line processed time-resolved signal of the individual ion-source pulses employing the relatively new Matrix-Profile Algorithm** which provides a measure for the shot-by-shot variability of the consecutive pulses. We will report on the status of the data logging framework, the implementation of related software programs and the results of first tests.

  High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a Fourth-generation storage ring light source in China and is under construction. Noises, such as the ambient mechanical vibration and the power supply ripples of magnets, may induce large orbit motions of electron bunches and hence dramatically degrade the emitted photon beam quality. The effect of noises becomes significant and needs to be considered very carefully, especially when the emittances of the electron beam approach the diffraction limit of x-ray. For the HEPS, the noises are modelled and the total beam orbit motion is evaluated considering the spectral characteristics of all the transformation processes from the errors to the orbit. In this paper, we present the preliminary calculation of the effects of noises in HEPS, and the control of the orbit motion with the FOFB system.

  The superconducting electron linear accelerator ELBE at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf is a versatile light source operated in continuous wave mode. As the demand on the beam stability increases, the improvement of the beam control schemes currently installed at ELBE becomes highly relevant. This improvement can be achieved by an upgrade of the existing digital MicroTCA.4-based LLRF control scheme by beam-based feedback. By presenting both the design and implementation details of the new control scheme this contribution reports the status of the work in progress.

  Sirius is the Brazilian 4th generation synchrotron light source. It consists of three electron accelerators and it has room for up to 38 beamlines. To make the alignment of Sirius components possible, there is a need for a network of points comprising the installation volume, allowing the location of portable coordinate instruments on a common reference frame. This work describes the development of such networks for the whole Sirius facility. The layout of the networks is presented together with the survey strategies. Details are given on how the calculations combined laser trackers and optical level measurements data and how the Earth curvature compensation was performed. A novel laser tracker orientation technique applied for linking networks on different environments is also presented. Finally, the uncertainty estimation for the resulting network and its deformation history is shown.

  One of the operating modes for the Collector Ring (CR) under construction in Darmstadt is the isochronous mode, in which the captured ions circulate with an equal period regardless of their momentum. The measurement of the orbital period T by the time-of-flight sensors makes it possible to precisely determine the mass to the charge ratio of the ion under study. For this, the change of the circulation period dT should not exceed 1·10-6 for dT/T in the entire momentum acceptance of the 0.62%. Modeling in the Strategic Accelerator Design code showed that without nonlinear effects compensation, the orbital period variation is 1·10-5. In this work, the parameters of nonlinear correctors, which are sextupoles and octupoles in CR, are determined, necessary for the isochronous mode implementation.

  During the second long shutdown (LS2) of the accelerator complex at CERN, the access system of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) was completely renovated. This complex project was motivated by the technical obsolescence and lack of sufficient redundancy in the existing system, as well as by the need for homogenisation of technologies and practices across the different machines at CERN. The new Personnel Protection System includes 16 state-of-the-art access points making sure that only fully identified, trained and authorised personnel can enter the facility and an interlock system with a rationalized number of safety chains designed to meet the current safety standards. The control part is based on Siemens 1500 series of programmable logic controllers, complemented by a technologically diverse relay logic loop for the critical safety functions. This paper presents the new system and the design choices made to permit fast installation in a period where the access system itself was heavily used to allow vast upgrades of the SPS accelerator and its infrastructure. It also covers the verification and validation methodology and lessons learned during the commissioning phase.

  The energy of synchrotron radiation generated by bremsstrahlung radiation and magnet is rather high, which may cause serious radiation damage to human body or even imperil people’s life. The beamline therefore must be equipped with radiation-protection system; in addition, the overheat of optical components exposed to synchrotron radiation will lead to the damage of optical components and devices. In consequence, the beamline should be furnished with the cooling-protection system to cool down optical components and devices. The Beamline Safety Interlock System targets at protecting the personnel and the safety of devices, limiting the radiation dose to a security value for experimental personnel or staffs exposing to radiation on the site as well as preventing beamline components from being exposed to overheat or vacuum damages to improve the effectiveness of beamline.

  The old LHC Access Control System (LACS) was based on a single access control solution, which integrated software and hardware into one monolithic application encompassing all the different subsystems (access control, video surveillance, interphones, biometry, equipment control, safety elements). Both the hardware and software were approaching end-of-life by the vendor before the CERN Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). The new design is based on a distributed approach, where the different subsystems are integrated in a flexible manner with well-defined interfaces, which will permit much easier single sub-system management, upgrades, and even full replacements if necessary. From the system point of view, the focus is on the advantages that this redesign brings to system operation, testing, and management. Procedurally the interest is in the overall management of a very complex in-place upgrade of a system, where the new implementation needed to coexist with the old during its constant simultaneous solicitation over the LS2.

We describe the offline machine learning (ML) development for an effort to precisely regulate the Gradient Magnet Power Supply (GMPS) at the Fermilab Booster accelerator complex via a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). As part of this effort, we created a digital twin of the Booster-GMPS control system by training a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to capture its full dynamics. We outline the path we took to carefully validate our digital twin before deploying it as a reinforcement learning (RL) environment. Additionally, we demonstrate the use of a Deep Q-Network (DQN) policy model with the capability to regulate the GMPS against realistic time-varying perturbations.

  A 500-MHz 150-kW solid-state power amplifier (SSA) has been developed to test the 500-MHz normal conducting cavities for High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) booster ring. It will also be used to power normal conducting cavities in the initial beam commissioning stage of the HEPS storage ring. A total number of 96 amplifier modules are combined initially by coaxial and later by waveguide combiners to deliver the 150-kW RF power. The final output is of EIA standard WR1800 rectangular waveguide. Each amplifier module consists four transistors equipped with individual circulator and load and outputs 2-kW RF power. Modularity, redundancy and satisfactory RF performance are demonstrated. In the final stage of HEPS project, this 150-kW amplifier will be modified to a 100-kW amplifier to join the other five 100-kW SSAs for normal operation of the booster cavities. The development and test results are presented in this paper.

  166-MHz 260-kW solid-state power amplifiers have been chosen to drive the 166.6-MHz superconducting cavities for the storage ring of High Energy Photon Source. Highly modular yet compact are desired. A total number of 112 amplifier modules of 3 kW each are combined in a multi-stage power combining topology. The final output is of 9-3/16" 50 Ω coaxial rigid line. Each amplifier module consists of 3 LDMOS transistors with individual circulator and load. Thermal simulations of the amplifier module have been conducted to optimize cooling capabilities for both travelling-wave and full-reflection operation scenarios. High efficiency, sufficient redundancy and excellent RF performances of the 260-kW system are demonstrated. A control system is also integrated and EPICS is used to manage the monitored data. The design and test results of the amplifier system are presented in this paper.

  To support the stable operation of Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) with 500mA beam current and the in-creasing beam line construction, a 3rd RF plant is thus constructed for such demand. The RF power source of the other 2 RF plants adopts klystron type transmitter and the 3rd RF plants is transferred to new technology of solid-state for better redundancy and easier mainte-nance. Base on the success of solid-state power ampli-fier development in 2020, a 3rd RF power source is thus decided to be made in house by solid-state tech-nology. The 500MHz 300kW solid-state transmitter is constructed by 4 80 kW solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) towers and power combined by 3 WR1800 3-dB hybrid couplers. Each tower is consisted of 110 850W final stage SSPA modules with 4 100W pre-amplifiers and 6 600W drive amplifiers. The pre and drive amplifiers are power combined for higher redun-dancy. The DC power are economical industrial 48V AC-DC rack mount power supplies which are parallel connected for higher total DC power and best redun-dancy. The architecture and present progress are pre-sented in this article.

  Development effort is underway on a 352MHz, 200kW solid state rf system intended as the base design to replace the existing klystron-based rf systems presently in use at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). A sixteen-input, 200kW final combining cavity was designed, built, and successfully tested to 29kW CW in combiner mode, and to 200kW CW in back-feed mode, where an external klystron was used to transmit power into the combining cavity. A four-port waveguide combiner was also tested in both backfeed and combiner mode to 193kW and 26kW respectively. Slow and fast interlock systems were designed and implemented to support the testing process. An EPICS and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)-based system was developed to control, communicate with, and monitor the rf amplifiers used in the combiner-mode test, and to monitor and log system performance parameters relating to the combining cavity. Low-level rf control of the cavity in 29kW combiner-mode operation was achieved using the existing APS analog low-level rf hardware. Test data and design details are presented.

  The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), which is presently under construction in Darmstadt (Germany), will incorporate a large variety of superconducting devices like magnets, currents leads and bus bars. These components depend on an active protection in case of a transition from superconducting to the resistive state, so-called quench. In this framework, a FAIR Quench Detection System (F-QDS) is being developed based on analog and digital electronics and will be implemented in several machines of the FAIR complex. This paper describes the development of the F-QDS. An overview of the F-QDS electronics is given followed by a description of the system integration to the infrastructure of various machines. Initial test results of the F-QDS prototype system are presented and discussed.

  The linear accelerator (LINAC) quadrupole magnets are powered by 42 silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) based power supplies at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) facility of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These 35V, 525A power supplies are bulky, inefficient and require both air and water cooling. The reliability of the SNS facility is impacted due to water leaks internal to power supplies and current readback issues associated with their unique control system interface, resulting in multiple downtime events. Hence, an alternate solution is necessary for the continued reliable operation of the SNS. To mitigate the above-mentioned problems, this paper proposes the use of off-the-shelf Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) rated for 20V, 500A with serial control interface. These SMPS are air-cooled, more efficient and more compact owing to their switching speeds of approximately 160 kHz. The performance enhancements of the SMPS in comparison with the existing SCR power supply are discussed in detail in this paper. The features of the SMPS, along with experimental results for both power supplies, like efficiency, power losses and stability, are presented. Ongoing work is also discussed.

  New proton therapy facilities for the cure of tumors as well as high-energy photon sources are currently being installed all around the world. In this field, the request for special power supplies for corrector, scanning, and quadrupole magnets are increasing. For these applications, mandatory requirements are high bandwidth and current stability as well as low output ripple which are conflicting constraints. A feasibility study, prototype development, measurements, and investigations on the control methodology of a wide-bandgap GaN semiconductor-based power module is presented in the paper. The developed power module features the following characteristics: Eurocard standard PCB, bipolar 4Q operation, minimum switching frequency 100 kHz, bandwidth 5 kHz, output voltage and current up to 200 V / 8 A, output current ripple <20 ppm. The enlisted characteristics make it suitable for high inductive loads requiring fast transients (scanning magnets). An RST controller will be developed and a system identification approach to the transfer function of two parallel-connected power modules will be presented along with simulations assessing the performance.

After successful implementation of 6 and 15 MeV electron linear accelerator (linac) technology for Cancer Therapy in India, we initiated the development of high energy high current accelerator for the production of radioisotopes for diagnostic applications. The accelerator will be of 30 MeV energy with 350 µA average current provided by a gridded gun. The linac is a side coupled standing wave accelerator operating at 2998 MHz frequency operating at p/2 mode. The choice of p/2 operating mode is particularly suitable for this case where the repetition rate will be around 400 Hz. Klystron with 7 MW peak power and 36 kW average power will be used as the RF source. The modulator will be a solid-state modulator. The control system is FPGA based setup developed in-house at SAMEER. A retractable target with tungsten will be used as a converter to generate X-rays via bremsstrahlung. The x-rays will then interact with enriched 100Mo target to produce 99Mo via (g, n) reaction. Eluted 99mTc will be used for diagnostic applications. The paper lists the challenges and novel schemes developed at SAMEER to make a compact, rugged, and easy to use system keeping in mind local conditions.

National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology has been studied terahertz (THz) coherent radiation in collaboration with Nihon University and Kyoto University. We have been developed a coherent transition radiation (CTR) source with macropulse power of 1 mJ using a screen monitor in the parametric X-ray line at Laboratory for Electron Beam Research and Application (LEBRA) in Nihon University. However, to obtain a THz-wave source with higher intensity, we have undertaken a development of a new THz-wave source based on coherent Cherenkov radiation (CCR) matched to circle plane wave. Bypassing an electron beam through a hollow conical dielectric having an apex angle equal to the Cherenkov angle, the wavefront of the CCR generated on the inner surface of the hollow conical dielectric matches on the basal plane. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a high-power beam that is easy to transport. We have already produced a hollow conical dielectric made of high-resistivity silicon and considered a position controller for the hollow conical dielectric. In this presentation, the status of the new THz-wave source will be reported.

Compact inverse Compton scattering X-ray sources are gaining in popularity as the future of lab-based x-ray sources. Smart*Light is one such facility, under commissioning at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), which is based on high gradient X-band technology originally designed for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) and its test stands located at CERN. Critical to the beam quality is the RF system which aims to deliver 10-24 MW RF pulses at repetition rates up to 1 kHz with a high amplitude and phase stability of <0.5\% and <0.65~° allowing it to adhere to strict synchronicity conditions at the interaction point. This work overviews the design of the high power and low level RF systems for Smart*Light.

  A compact THz radiation facility based on the principle of a pre-bunched Free Electron Laser, called Delhi Light Source (DLS) is at the final stage of commissioning at IUAC, New Delhi, India. For generation of THz radiation in DLS, an undulator with period length of 48 mm (U48), built by HZB and refurbished at DESY will be used. The magnetic tuning and the field measurements have been done on the U48 along with the design and installation of correction coils at the entrance/exit of the U48. In addition, horizontal and vertical ambient field correction coils were integrated into the magnet girders. A quadrupole correction coil along the vacuum chamber in order to mitigate the defocusing effect of the U48 on the electron beam has been designed. The current through all coils has been adjusted as a function of the gap by the new control system designed for the U48. In addition, an extruded aluminium vacuum chamber was designed and fabricated and will be aligned with the the undulator soon.

WEPAB216 6D Simulations of PIP-II Booster Injection injection, scattering, booster, closed-orbit 3138

The PIP-II superconducting linac will deliver 2 mA average H- beam current at 800 MeV to the existing Booster synchrotron over a period of 0.55 ms (285 turns). As a result, the injected beam power will quadruple to 17 kW. Safe operation at the increased beam power implies careful attention to the origin, magnitude, and distribution of both controlled and uncontrolled losses. Uncontrolled losses are due to neutral ions in excited states stripped in downstream magnets and large angle scattered protons from parasitic foil hits. The relative magnitudes of these loss mechanisms is used to determine the optimal foil thickness. A transverse painting scheme involving closed orbit motion will be used to mitigate space charge effects and minimize parasitic foil hits. Using a detailed full 6D simulation of the injection process, we compute large angle scattering losses and compare results to back of the envelope estimates. We investigate possible impact of space charge on the emittance and beam distribution both during and at the conclusion of the injection period.

WEPAB243 Longitudinal Microwave Instability Study at Transition Crossing with Ion Beams in the CERN PS impedance, emittance, simulation, proton 3197

  The luminosity of lead ion collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was significantly increased during the 2018 ion run by reducing the bunch spacing from 100 ns to 75 ns, allowing to increase the total number of bunches. With the new 75 ns variant, three instead of four bunches are generated each cycle in the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) and the Proton Synchrotron (PS) with up to 30% larger intensity per bunch. The beam was produced with satisfactory quality but at the limit of stability in the injectors. In particular, the minimum longitudinal emittance in the PS is limited by a strong longitudinal microwave instability occurring just after transition crossing. The uncontrolled blow-up generates tails, which translate into an unacceptably large satellite population following the RF manipulations prior to extraction from the PS. In this paper, instability measurements are compared to particle simulations using the latest PS impedance model to identify the driving impedance sources. Moreover, means to mitigate the instability are discussed.

  The Beam Interlock System (BIS) is a machine protection system that provides essential interlock control throughout the CERN accelerator complex. The current BIS has been in service since 2006; as such, it is approaching the end of its operational lifetime, with most components being obsolete. A second version of the Beam Interlock System, "BIS2", is currently under development and will replace the current system. BIS2 aims to be more flexible by supplying additional on-board diagnostic tools, while also improving the overall safety by adding more redundancy. Crucially, BIS2 increases the number of critical paths that can be interlocked by almost 50%, providing an important flexibility for future additional interlocking requests. BIS2 will come into operation for the LHC in run 4 (2027) and will remain in operation until the end of the planned lifetime of HL-LHC. In this paper, we will focus on the Beam Interlock Controller Manager board (CIBM), which is at the heart of BIS2. Since this module works closely with many other systems that are similar in design to those in BIS1, we will compare how BIS2 improves upon BIS1, and justify the reasons why these changes were made.

  Until 2018, the limited firefighting means in the SPS complex largely exposed it to the consequences of self-ignition or accidental fire. In 2015 the SPS Fire Safety project was launched with the objective of improving life safety and property protection by deploying a whole set of automatic actions to protect SPS in case of fire outbreak. If nothing was done, an unmanaged fire could be a threat to lives of those working underground and could mean losing a vast majority of the SPS machine and its equipment. In 2020, CERN has completed the consolidation of its SPS fire safety systems. Among these, a water based sprinkler system, following principles of standard industrial design but customized and tailor-made for SPS and its irradiated areas, is ready to operate. The system must take into account limitations related to the presence of fragile accelerator equipment, radioactive zones, integration constraints and comply with European norms, in particular EN12845. This paper presents the risk assessment, our experience from the planning and installation phase while discussing the custom-chosen and radiation tested equipment to end up with the lessons learned and outlook for the future.

  At DESY an upgrade of the PETRA III synchrotron light source towards a fourth-generation, low emittance machine PETRA IV is currently being actively pursued. The realization of this new machine implies a new design of the timing and synchronization system since requirements on beam quality and controls will significantly change from the existing implementation at PETRA III. As of now the technical design phase of the PETRA IV project is in full swing. For the timing system the design process of the overall system as well as the evaluation of individual components has been started as of last year. Given the success of the at DESY developed MicroTCA.4-based timing system for the European XFEL accelerator it has been chosen to serve as a basis for the PETRA IV timing system developement as well. We present first design ideas of the major timing system hardware component, a MicroTCA.4-based AMC for distributing clocks, triggers and further bunch-synchronous information within the accelerator complex and to user experiments. First steps of an evaluation process for designing the AMC hardware are briefly illustrated.

  The low-level RF (LLRF) system at the European XFEL, DESY, is of major importance for a high-performant and reliable operation. Faults here can jeopardize the overall operation. Therefore, the trip event logger is currently developped, - a fault diagnosis tool to detect errors online, inform the operators and trigger automatic supervisory actions. Further goals are to provide information for a fault tree and event tree analysis as well as a database of labeled faulty data sets for offline analysis. The tool is based on the C++ framework ChimeraTK Application Core. With this close interconnection to the control system it is possible not only to monitor but also to intervene as it is of great importance for supervisory tasks. The core of the tool consists of fault analysis modules ranging from simple ones (e.g., limit checking) to advanced ones (model-based, machine learning, etc.). Within this paper the architecture and the implementation of the trip event logger are presented.

  In TPS booster ring, the DLLRF is used to controlled the ramping gap voltage and also the energy saving module is applied to save power while the ring does not inject beam. But we occurred to have a problem of PI saturation due to a large phase change when the energy saving module working. The energy saving module switches the anode voltage of the klystron from high to low level to decrease the cathode current while the ring does not inject and do the opposite while the ring injects. This action causes a large phase change of the transmitter and leads the PI controller to work in the wrong direction. We add a klystron phase loop to solve this situation.

WEPAB297 A Recent Upgrade on Phase Drift Compensation System for a Stable Beam Injection at J-PARC Linac linac, cavity, DTL, injection 3357

  J-PARC linac, consisting of 324 MHz and 972 MHz acceleration sections, delivers H beam to the rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). The drift in the beam injection momentum from linac to RCS was measured to be highly dependent on the humidity at the klystron gallery. Also, changes in both temperature and humidity strongly affect the rf field phase controlled within the digital feedback (DFB) system. To cope with this, a unique phase drift compensation system, namely the phase drift monitor (PDM) system, is implemented in the MEBT2B1 station as the first step at the linac. However, the compensation of the drift correction could not be achieved directly since two different frequencies were used. The new PDM, which adapts the direct sampling method using the Radio Frequency System-on-Chip (RFSoC), will pave the way to ensure rf phase stability at all stations simultaneously. Here we present the effects of temperature and humidity on the rf field phase, along with performance and preliminary test results concerning the phase drift compensation.

  A particle accelerator based on an array of two-gap resonators requires a control system, which is responsible for precise setup and stabilization of the phase and magnitude of the electromagnetic field in resonators. We develop a cost-effective LLRF system for the array of more than 80 resonators and three different operating frequencies. The design is based on proved solution used for 5-resonators accelerator HILAC (project NICA, Dubna). This paper gives an overview of the basic structure and some specific features of the developing LLRF control system.

The Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) Project is approved for the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and will double the proton beam power capability from 1.4 MW to 2.8 MW with 2 MW beam power available to the first target station. A second target station is planned and will utilize the remaining beam power in the future. The proton power increase will be supported with the addition of twenty-eight new superconducting cavities powered by 700 kW peak power klystrons to increase beam energy while increases to the beam current will be done with a combination of existing RF margin, and DTL HPRF upgrades. The original low-level RF control system has proven to be reliable over the past 15 years of operations, but obsolescence issues mandate a replacement system be developed for the PPU project. The replacement system is realized in a µTCA.4 platform using a combination of commercial off-the-shelf boards and custom hardware to support the requirements of PPU. This paper presents the prototype hardware, firmware, and software development activities along with preliminary testing results of the new system.

Some Python based tools have been developed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) for the ease of operation and management of the low level radio frequency (LLRF) controllers. Utilizing the rich features in Python, some tasks can be easily applied to a whole segment, one type of cryomodule (CM), a specific cryomodule or individual cavities grouped by a complex custom query. The tasks include, for example, 1) testing interface connections between various sub-systems prior to an operational run; 2) setting, checking and saving/restoring parameters during and after an operational run; 3) updating LLRF controller firmware and software during maintenance. With these tools, routine manual tasks are streamlined to achieve significantly greater efficiency in terms of scalability, time, memory and network resources. Considering channel access security, beam on/off status etc., the strategy of choosing either input/output controller (IOC) or Python for the implementation of certain tasks is also discussed in the paper.

WEPAB303 Machine Learning Applied to Automated Tunes Control at the 1.5 GeV Synchrotron Light Source DELTA storage-ring, quadrupole, simulation, operation 3379
 
  • D. Schirmer
    DELTA, Dortmund, Germany
 
  Machine learning (ML) driven algorithms are finding more and more use cases in the domain of accelerator physics. Apart from correlation analysis in large data volumes, low and high level controls, like beam orbit correction, also non-linear feedback systems are possible application fields. This also includes monitoring the storage ring betatron tunes, as an important task for stable machine operation. For this purpose classical, shallow (non-deep), feed-forward neural networks (NNs) were investigated for automated adjusting the storage ring tunes. The NNs were trained with experimental machine data as well as with simulated data based on a lattice model of the DELTA storage ring. With both data sources comparable tune correction accuracies were achieved, both, in real machine operation and for the simulated storage ring model. In contrast to conventional PID methods, the trained NNs were able to approach the desired target tunes in fewer steps. The report summarizes the current status of this machine learning project and points out possible future improvements as well as other possible applications.

Optimization algorithms/techniques such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Gaussian process (GP) have been widely used in the accelerator field to tackle complex design/online optimization problems. However, connecting the algorithm with the optimization problem can be difficult, sometimes even unrealistic, since the algorithms and problems could be implemented in different languages, might require specific resources, or have physical constraints. We introduce an optimization platform named Teeport that is developed to address the above issue. This real-time communication (RTC) based platform is particularly designed to minimize the effort of integrating the algorithms and problems. Once integrated, the users are granted a rich feature set, such as monitoring, controlling, and benchmarking. Some real-life applications of the platform are also discussed.

There is significant effort within particle accelerator physics to use machine learning methods to improve modeling of accelerator components. Such models can be made realistic and representative of machine components by training them with measured data. These models could be used as virtual diagnostics or for model-based control when fast feedback is needed for tuning to different user settings. To prototype such a model, we demonstrate how a machine learning based surrogate model of the SLAC LCLS-II photocathode injector was developed. To create machine-based data, laser measurements were taken at the LCLS using the virtual cathode camera. These measurements were used to sample particles, resulting in realistic electron bunches, which were then propagated through the injector via the Astra space charge simulation. By doing this, the model is not only able to predict many bulk electron beam parameters and distributions which are often hard to measure or not usually available to measure, but the predictions are more realistic relative to traditionally simulated training data. The methods for training such models, as well as model capabilities and future work are presented here.

We report the status of the development of an High Power RF Laboratory in X-Band called TEX (TEst-stand for X-Band). TEX is part of the LATINO (Laboratory in Advanced Technologies for INnOvation) initiative that is ongoing at the Frascati National Laboratories (LNF) of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) that covers many different areas focused on particle accelerator technologies. TEX is a RF test facility based on solid-state K400 modulator from ScandiNova with a 50MW class X-band (11.996 GHz) klystron tube model vkx 8311a operating at 50 Hz. This RF source will operate as resource for test and research programs such as the RF breakdown on RF waveguide components as well as high power testing of accelerating structures for future high gradient linear accelerator such as EuPRAXIA and CLIC. The high power testing will be performed in a dedicated brand-new bunker that has been recently built. RF system, vacuum controls and safety equipments are currently being installed. The first accelerating structure testing is scheduled by beginning 2022. In this document design and tests for all the sub-systems of the facility will be presented and discussed.

  Digital models have been developed over a long time for preparing accelerator commissioning next to benchmarking theory predictions to machine measurements. These digital models are nowadays being realized as digital shadows or digital twins. Accelerator commissioning requires periodic setup and review of the machine status. Furthermore, different measurements are only practical by comparison to the machine model (e.g. beam based alignment). In this paper we describe the architecture chosen for our models, describe the framework Bluesky for measurement orchestration and report on our experience exemplifying on dynamic aperture scans. Furthermore we describe our plans to extend the models applied to BESSY~II and MLS to the currently planned machines BESSY~III and MLS~II.

The Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) to a diffraction-limited storage ring with a small vacuum chamber diameter requires excellent orbit stability and a fast response orbit interlock for machine protection. The on-axis swap-out injection scheme and dual RF frequencies demand fast monitoring of pulsed injection magnets and a novel approach to timing. Recent development efforts at ALS and advances in PLLs, FPGAs, and RFSoCs that provide higher performance and mixed-signal integration can be leveraged for instrumentation solutions to these accelerator challenges. An overview of preliminary ALS-U instrumentation system designs and status will be presented.

It is well known that the efficiency of an advanced control algorithm like machine learning is as good as its data quality. Much recent progress in technology enables the massive data acquisition from a control system of modern particle accelerator, and the wide use of embedded controllers, like field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), provides an opportunity to collect fast data from technical subsystems for monitoring, statistics, diagnostics or fault recording. To improve the data quality, at the APS Upgrade project, a general-purpose data acquisition (DAQ) system is under active development. The APS-U DAQ system collects high-quality fast data from underneath embedded controllers, especially the FPGAs, with the manner of time-correlation and synchronously sampling, which could be used for commissioning, performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and early fault detection, etc. This paper presents the design and latest progress of APS-U high-performance DAQ infrastructure, as well as its preparation to enable the use of machine learning technology for APS-U, and its use cases at APS.

  The ATS of an emergency power system in Utility Building II has operated over 18 years; in recent years the failure rate is gradually increasing because of aged components. To improve old switches, schemes of upgrading and developing new and efficient transfer switches have been conducted cautiously. A new device named an Uninterruptible Paralleling Transfer Switch (UPTS) is designed and implemented to replace an existing ATS to enhance the performance to meet the requirements of uninterrupted power transfer. The UPTS can uninterruptedly switch the grid power to emergency power of a backup generator during a planned utility power outage, and also exactly switch emergency power to the grid power uninterruptedly when the utility power is restored. If grid power is unexpectedly lost, UPTS acts like a typical ATS, automatically transferring power from a primary source to a backup source with switching duration a few seconds. A practical UPTS has been assembled and installed in Utility Building II and has performed well effectively to eliminate power-switching transients.

  Taiwan has been suffering from a shortage of natural resources for more than two decades. As stated by the Energy Statistics Handbook 2019 of Taiwan, up to 97.90% of energy supply was imported from abroad. This kind of energy consumption structure is fragile relatively. Not mention to the total domestic energy consumption annual growth rate is 1.97% in twenty years. Either the semiconductor or the integrated circuit-related industry is developed vigorously in Taiwan. All the facts cause us to face the energy problems squarely. Therefore, an energy management system (EnMS) was installed in NSRRC in 2019 to pursue more efficient energy use. With the advantages of the Archive Viewer - a utility supervisory control and data acquisition system in NSRRC, the data of energy use could be traced conveniently and widely. The model of energy use has been built to review periodically, furthermore, it provides us the accordance to replace the degraded equipment and alerts us if the failure occurs.

A new interlock and data acquisition (DAQ) system is being developed for the RF system at High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) to protect essential devices as well as to locate the fault. Various signals collected and pre-processed by the DAQ system and individual interlock signals from solid-state power amplifiers, low-level RFs, arc detectors, etc. are sent to the interlock system for logic decision to control the RF switch. Programmable logic controllers (PLC) are used to collect slow signals like temperature, water flowrate, etc., while fast acquisition for RF signals is realized by dedicated boards with down-conversion frontend and digital signal processing boards. In order to improve the response time, field programmable gate array (FPGA) has been used for interlock logic implementation with an embedded experimental physics and industrial control system (EPICS). Data storage is managed by using EPICS Archiver Appliance and an operator interface is developed by using Control System Studio (CSS) running on a standalone computer. This paper presents the design and the first test of the new interlock and DAQ for HEPS RF system.

We discuss the possible use of crystalline beams in storage rings for applications in quantum information science (QIS). Crystalline beams have been created in ion trap systems and proven to be useful as a computational basis for QIS applications. The same structures can be created in a storage ring, but the ions necessarily have a constant velocity and are rotating in a circular trap. The basic structures that are needed are ultracold crystalline beams, called ion Coulomb crystals (ICC’s). We will describe different applications of ICC’s for QIS, how QIS information is obtained and can be used for quantum computing, and some of the challenges that need to be resolved to realize practical QIS applications in storage rings.

THXC07 Adaptive Control of Klystron Operation Parameters for Energy Saving at Storage Ring of TPS klystron, operation, cathode, storage-ring 3748

  To satisfy maximum beam current operation in the storage ring of TPS, the operation parameters of both RF transmitters are set to be able to generate its maxi-mum RF power in daily usage. Under such condition, the klystrons can deliver any power below 300kW at constant AC power consumption which is about 520-530 kW. Hence, the AC power usage is independent of the required RF output power. To best utilize the avail-able AC power based on the required RF power, an adaptive control methodology is proposed here to change the operation parameters of the klystron, cath-ode voltage and anode voltage, according to the pre-sent RF power. The corresponding operation parame-ters are applied by the prior tested table which maps the operation parameters with the different saturation RF power. The test results show that the saved energy can be 32% to 11% from 30mA to 450mA for both RF plants as comparing to constant operation parameters of 1047 kW AC power.

  Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source (SLEGS) *, based on laser Compton scattering (LCS), as one of beamlines of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) in phase II, is under construction now. The technical design of its laser injection system has been implemented and optimized consecutively over the last few years. In order to inject the 10640 nm CO2 laser into the interaction point from the laser hutch outside the storage ring’s shielding, a laser transport system longer than 20 m using relay-imaging telescopes is designed. There are two operation mode in SLEGS. One is backscattering mode, which will make the laser and electron bunch collide at 180° with flux higher than 107 gamma/s. The other mode is slanting mode, which mainly inherits the design used in the prototype**. In this paper, a brief summary of the laser transport system is given. The system contains several modules to perform beam expansion, combining, monitoring and real-time adjustment. The design models, simulation study of the laser quality through the transporta-tion, and the experimental results are presented.

THPAB068 Denoising of Optics Measurements Using Autoencoder Neural Networks optics, network, simulation, MMI 3915
 
  • E. Fol, R. Tomás García
    CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
 
  Noise artefacts can appear in optics measurements data due to instrumentation imperfections or uncertainties in the applied analysis methods. A special type of semi-supervised neural networks, autoencoders, are widely applied to denoising tasks in image and signal processing as well as to generative modeling. Recently, an autoencoder-based approach for denoising and reconstruction of missing data has been developed to improve the quality of phase measurements obtained from harmonic analysis of LHC turn-by-turn data. We present the results achieved on simulations demonstrating the potential of the new method and discuss the effect of the noise in light of optics corrections computed from the cleaned data.

The TU Dortmund University operates the 1.5-GeV electron storage ring DELTA as a synchrotron light source in user operation and for accererator physics research. At a dedicated beamline, experiments with (sub-)THz radiation are carried out. Here, an interaction of short laser pulses with electron bunches is used to modulate the electron energy which causes the formation of a dip in the longitudinal electron density, giving rise to the coherent emission of radiation between 75 GHz and 6 THz. The standard mode of operation is the generation of broadband radiation. However, more sophisticated energy modulation schemes were implemented using a liquid-crystal phase modulator. Here, a modulation of the spectral phase of the laser is used to control the spectral shape of the THz pulses. The resulting THz spectra have a relative bandwidth of about 2 %. Measurement results from the different THz generation schemes are presented.

As the next generation of accelerator technology pushes towards being able to achieve higher and higher gradients there is a need to develop high-frequency structures that can support these fields *. The conditioning process of the structures and waveguides to high gradient is a labor-intensive process, its length increases as the maximum gradient is increased. This results in the need to automate the conditioning process. This automation must allow for high accuracy calculations of the breakdown probabilities associated with the conditioning process which can be used to instruct the conditioning procedure without the need for human intervention. To automate the conditioning process at LANL’s high gradient C-band accelerator test stand we developed FEbreak that is a breakout probability and conditioning automation software that is a part of the FEmaster series **, ***, ****. FEbreak directly interfaces with the rest of FEmaster to automate the data collection and data processing to not only analyze the breakdown probability but also the dark current effects associated with these high gradient structures.

  Funding: Grant number: DOE HEP Grants DE-SC0017648, DE-SC0009914, and National Science Foundation Grant No. PHY-1549132.
We propose here to exploit the quadrupole wakefields in an alternating symmetry slab-based dielectric wakefield accelerator (DWA) to produce second-order focusing. The resultant focusing is found to be strongly dependent on longitudinal position in the bunch. We analyze this effect with analytical estimates and electromagnetic PIC simulations. We examine the use of this scenario to induce beam stability in very high gradient DWA, with positive implications for applications in linear colliders and free-electron lasers.

  We propose an approach for incorporating accelerator physics models into reinforcement learning agents. The proposed approach is based on the Taylor mapping technique for simulation of the particle dynamics. The resulting computational graph is represented as a polynomial neural network and embedded into the traditional reinforcement learning agents. The application of the model is demonstrated in a nonlinear simulation model of beam transmission. The comparison of the approach with the traditional numerical optimization as well as neural networks based agents demonstrates better convergence of the proposed technique.

  Funding: Research supported by the HL-LHC project.
To accurately simulate injection losses in the LHC and the High-Luminosity LHC era, a realistic beam distribution model at SPS extraction is needed. To achieve this, the beam-loading compensation by the SPS cavity controller has to be included, as it modulates the bunch positions with respect to the rf buckets. This dynamic cavity control model also allows generating a more realistic beam halo, from which the LHC injection losses will mainly originate. In this paper, the implementation of the present SPS cavity controller in CERN’s Beam Longitudinal Dynamics particle tracking code is described. Just like in the machine, the feedback and feedforward controls are included in the simulation model, as well as the generator-beam-cavity interaction. Benchmarking against measurements of the generated beam distributions at SPS extraction are presented.

THPAB232 Study of Nonlinear Properties of ESR via Tune Scans quadrupole, closed-orbit, optics, storage-ring 4250
 
  • G. Franchetti
    GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
 
  The ESR storage ring at GSI is a key accelerator for the FAIR phase zero. This phase requires several highly specialized beam manipulations, which range from beam storage to deceleration of several ion species with the ultimate goal to provide intense highly charge ions to CRYRING. This plan will bring the ESR storage ring into a unique unexplored regime of accelerator operations where nonlinear dynamics, IBS, cooling, and high intensity will all become strongly interdependent. It is, therefore, necessary to acquire the best knowledge of the machine starting from its nonlinear dynamics properties. In this work, we present the development of a strategy to be used in the ESR, in which tune scans are used to explore the nonlinear properties of the accelerator. This approach is discussed with the help of simulations.

A slow extraction system is being developed for the Fermilab’s Delivery Ring to deliver protons to the Mu2e experiment. During the extraction, the beam on target experiences small intensity variations owing to many factors. Various adaptive learning algorithms will be employed for beam regulation to achieve the required spill quality. We discuss here preliminary results of the slow and fast regulation algorithms validation through the computer simulations before their implementation in the FPGA. Particle tracking with sextupole resonance was used to determine the fine shape of the spill profile. Fast semi-analytical simulation schemes and Machine Learning models were used to optimize the fast regulation loop.

  During the installation of Front-ends in sections 4th (XMCD beamline frontend) and 6th (PHELIX beamline frontend) at National Synchrotron Radiation Centre Solaris (NSRC Solaris), two units (one for each front end) of X-ray Beam Position Monitors (XBPM) have been installed as a diagnostic tool enabling for measurement of photon beam position. Hardware units of XBPM were manufactured, delivered, and eventually installed in Solaris by FMB Berlin. In order to get readouts of beam position from XBPM units, Libera Photon 2016 controller has been used as a complementary electronic device. Since XBPM units are supposed to be used along with the insertion device, an on-site Libera calibration was necessary. Libera’s calibration required few iterations of scans involving gap and phase movement of insertion devices at the 4th and 6th sections of the Solaris ring. The main focus was put on the derivation of Kx, and Ky coefficients. The content of this document describes step by step the procedure of Libera’s Kx, Ky coefficients value derivation at NSRC Solaris.

THPAB250 Fire Detection System Reliability Analysis: An Operational Data-Based Framework framework, operation, detector, database 4296
 
  • M.M.C. Averna, G. Gai
    CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
 
  This paper describes a framework developed at CERN, conducting reliability analysis of Safety-Critical Systems (Fire detection and Alarms) based on operational data. It applies Fault-Tree Analysis on maintenance-related data, categorized based on the component on failure. This framework, a tool implemented in Python, accounts for Fire Detection components installed in tunnels and surface buildings (control panels, detectors, etc) and safety functions triggered upon detection (evacuation, alarms to the CERN Fire Brigade, compartmentalization, electrical isolation, etc). The usefulness of the results of this type of analysis is twofold. Firstly, the results are a supporting tool for estimating the yearly availability of Fire Detection Systems in critical facilities, crucial in Capital and Operational Expenditure identification. Additionally, this approach refines the frequency analysis as part of quantitative fire risk assessments performed in the context of the FIRIA (Fire-Induced Radiological Integrated Assessment) Project, launched by CERN in 2018 and aiming at assessing the risk of fire events in experimental facilities with potential radiologic consequences to the public.

The HVCM used to power the linac klystrons have been one source of lost beam time and was chosen to explore using AI/ML techniques to improve reliability. Among the possibilities being explored are automating the tuning of HVCMs and predicting component failures such as capacitor aging, rectifier assemblies containing hundreds of diodes, and insulating oil degradation. The methodology pursued includes data cleaning, de-noising, post-analysis data labeling, and machine learning model development. We explore using Long Short-Term Memory and autoencoders for anomaly detection and prognostication used to schedule maintenance. We evaluate the use of model regularizers and constraints to improve the performance of the model and investigate methods to estimate the uncertainty of the models to provide a robust prediction with statistical interoperability. This paper describes the operational experience and known failures of the HVCMs and the proposed ML methodology and the preliminary results of training the AI/ML algorithms.

  A new fast orbit feedback (FOFB) hardware architecture has been pursued at Sirius. The fast corrector magnets’ are fed by power supply modules which are placed in the same MicroTCA.4 crates where the BPM digitizers and FOFB controllers are located. Each channel is made of a 3-Watt linear amplifier whose output currents are digitally controlled by the same FPGA where the distributed orbit feedback controller is processed. The amplifier is specified to reach up to 10 kHz small-signal bandwidth on a 3.5 mH inductance magnet and ±1 A full scale, which translates to 30 urad deflection on Sirius’ 3 GeV beam. Such a high level of integration aims at minimizing the overall latency of the FOFB loop while leveraging the crate infrastructure, namely electronics enclosure, DC power, cooling, and hardware management support already provided by the MTCA.4 crates. The fast corrector power supply channels are placed on Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) which are attached to the front AMC FPGA module where the FOFB controller is implemented. This paper will describe the main design concepts and report on the experimental results of the first prototypes.

  Sirius is a 4th generation 3 GeV synchrotron light source that has just finalised the first commissioning phase at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) campus in Campinas, Brazil. The large number of process variables and large complexity of the subsystems in this type of machine requires the development of tools to simplify the commissioning and operation of the accelerators. This paper describes some of the high level control tools developed for the accelerators commissioning and future operation.

  Collective instabilities can lead to a severe deterioration of beam quality, in terms of reduced beam intensity and increased beam emittance, and consequently a reduction of the collider’s luminosity. It is therefore crucial for the operation of the CERN’s Large Hadron Collider to understand the conditions in which they appear in order to find appropriate mitigation measures. Using bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn beam amplitude data, courtesy of the transverse damper’s observation box (ObsBox), a novel machine learning based approach is developed to both detect and classify these instabilities. By training an autoencoder neural network on the ObsBox amplitude data and using the model’s reconstruction error, instabilities and other phenomena are separated from nominal beam behaviour. Additionally, the latent space encoding of this autoencoder offers a unique image like representation of the beam amplitude signal. Leveraging this latent space representation allows us to cluster the various types of anomalous signals.

Machine learning (ML) has recently been applied to Low-level RF (LLRF) control systems to keep the voltage and phase of Superconducting Radiofrequency (SRF) cavities stable within 0.01 degree in phase and 0.01% amplitude as constraints. Model predictive control (MPC) uses an optimization algorithm offline to minimize a cost function with constraints on the states and control input. The surrogate model optimally controls the cavities online. Time series deep ML structures including recurrent neural network (RNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) can model the control input of MPC and dynamics of LLRF as a surrogate model. When the predicted states diverge from the measured states more than a threshold at each time step, the states’ measurements from the cavity fine-tune the surrogate model with transfer learning. MPC does the optimization offline again with the updated surrogate model, and, next, transfer learning fine-tunes the surrogate model with the new data from the optimal control inputs. The surrogate model provides us with a computationally faster and accurate modeling of MPC and LLRF, which in turn results in a more stable control system.

  with the development of synchrotron radiation (SR) light source technology, in order to meet the requirements of sample positioning platform of some beamline stations, such as adjusting resolution at the nanometer level and having larger sample scanning distance, a six degree of freedom positioning platform based on spacefab structure was developed. The key technologies such as coordinate parameter transformation, kinematics analysis, and adjustment decoupling algorithm of 6-DOF pose adjustment system of SpaceFAB positioning platform are mainly studied. A 6-DOF platform driven by a stepping motor is designed and manufactured. The control system of the 6-DOF Platform Based on bus control is developed, and the adjustment accuracy is tested. The repeated positioning accuracy of the platform in three directions is 0.019 mm, and that of rotation is 0.011 ° in three directions. The test results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis of SpaceFAB structure and the rationality of mechanism design. The research on the platform motion algorithm and control system has important reference value for the follow-up research of large stroke nano-6-dof positioning platform.

Optical transition radiation (OTR) is routinely used to measure transverse beam size, divergence , and emittance of charged particle beams. Presented here is an experimental method, which uses micro-mirror device (DMD) to conduct optical phase space mapping (OPSM). OPSM will be a next step and significant enhancement of the measurements capabilities of an adaptive optics-based beam characterization system. For this measurements, a DMD will be used to generate a reflective mask that replicates the double slit. Since the DMD makes it possible to easily change the size, shape and position of the mask, the use of the DMD will greatly simplify OPSM and make it more flexible, faster and more useful for diagnostics applications. The process can be automated and integrated into a control system that can be used to optimize the beam transport.

  High power magnetrons designed and optimized for industrial heating, being injection-locked, have been suggested to power superconducting RF cavities for accelerators due to lower cost and higher efficiency. However, standard operation methods do not provide high efficiency with wideband control suppressing microphonics. We have developed and experimentally verified novel methods of operating and controlling the magnetron that provide stable RF generation with higher efficiency and lower noise than other RF sources. By our method the magnetrons operate with the anode voltage notably lower than the self-excitation threshold improving its performance. This is also a promising way to increase tube reliability and longevity. A magnetron operating with the anode voltage lower than the self-excitation threshold, in so-called stimulated coherent generation mode has special advantage for pulse operation with a gated injection-locking signal. This eliminates the need for expensive pulsed HV modulators and additionally increases the magnetron RF source efficiency due to absence of losses in HV modulators.

  The HWR (half-wave-resonator) cryomodule is the first one in the superconducting section of the PIP-II LINAC project at Fermilab. PIP-II IT is a test facility for the project where the injector, warm front-end, and the first two superconducting cryomodules are being tested. The HWR cryomodule comprises 8 cavities operating at a frequency of 162.5 MHz and accelerating beam up to 10 MeV. Resonance control of the cavities is performed with a pneumatically operated slow tuner which compresses the cavity at the beam ports. Helium gas pressure in a bellows mounted to an end wall of the cavity is controlled by two solenoid valves, one on the pressure side and one on the vacuum side. The resonant frequency of the cavity can be controlled in one of two modes. A pressure feedback control loop can hold the cavity tuner pressure at a fixed value for the desired resonant frequency. Alternately, the feedback loop can regulate the cavity tuner pressure to bring the RF detuning error to zero. The resonance controller is integrated into the LLRF control system for the cryomodule. The control system design and performance of the resonance control system are described in this paper.

  PIP-II IT is a test facility for the PIP-II project where the injector, warm front-end, and the first two superconducting cryomodules are being tested. The 8-cavity half-wave-resonator (HWR) cryomodule operating at 162.5 MHz is followed by the 8-cavity single-spoke resonator(SSR1) cryomodule operating at 325 MHz. The LLRF systems for both cryomodules are based on a common SOC FPGA-based hardware platform. The resonance control systems for the two cryomodules are quite different, the first being a pneumatic system based on helium pressure and the latter a piezo/stepper motor type control. The data acquisition and control system can support both CW and Pulsed mode operations. Beam loading compensation is available which can be used for both manual/automatic control in the LLRF system. The user interfaces include EPICS, Labview, and ACNET. Testing of the RF system has progressed to the point of being ready for a 2 mA beam to be accelerated to 25 MeV. The design and performance of the field control and resonance control system operation with beam are presented in this paper.

  The design configuration of the Sirius Light Source RF System is based on two superconducting RF cavities and eight 60 kW solid state amplifiers operating at 500 MHz. The current configuration, based on a 7-cell room temperature cavity, was initially planned for commissioning and initial tests of the beamlines. However, it will have to remain in operation longer than planned. Sirius has been operating in decay mode for beamline tests with an initial current of 70 mA. We present an overview of the first-year operation of the RF system and the preparations for the installation of the two superconducting cavities, which is expected to take place in 2023.

The applications of machine learning in today’s world encompass all fields of life and physical sciences. In this paper, we implement a machine learning based algorithm in the context of laser physics and particle accelerators. Specifically, a neural network-based optimisation algorithm has been developed that offers enhanced control over an ultrafast femtosecond laser in comparison to the traditional Proportional Integral and derivative (PID) controls. This research opens a new potential of utilising machine learning and even deep learning techniques to improve the performance of several different lasers and accelerators systems.

  Within the framework of the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project, the feasibility and design of an upgrade of the existing CERN PS proton injection kicker system have been outlined in previous publications already. This paper describes the adjustments of final design choices, testing, and deployment as well as the validation and commissioning of the new 2 GeV injection kicker system. The upgrade pays particular attention to the reduction of pulse reflections unavoidably induced by a magnet in short circuit mode configuration whilst keeping a fast 104 ns rise and fall time. An adapted thyratron triggering system to reduce jitter and enhance thyratron lifetime is outlined. Additionally, improvements to the magnet entry box and the elimination of SF6 gas in the magnet connection box and the associated pulse transmission lines are discussed.

  The Shanghai high repetition rate XFEL and extreme light facility (SHINE) under construction is designed as one of the most advanced FEL facilities in the world, which will produce coherent x-rays with wavelengths from 0.05 to 3 nm and maximum repetition rate of 1MHz. In order to achieve precise, stable alignment of the electron and photo beams in the undulator, the prototype of the cavity beam position monitors (CBPM) including C-band and X-band have been designed and fabricated for the SHINE. And the requirement of the transverse position resolution is better than 200 nm for a single bunch of 100 pC at the dynamic range of ±100 µm. In this paper, we present the design of the cavity with high loaded Q and the RF front-end with low noise-figure, adjustable gain, single-stage down-conversion and phase-locked with reference clock, and also described the structure and specifications of the home-made data acquisition (DAQ) system. The construction of the experiment platform and preliminary measurement result with beam at Shanghai Soft X-ray FEL facility (SXFEL) will be addressed as well.
