| Title | Differentiable beam optics optimization and measurement |
| Authors |

| Abstract | Particle accelerators require extensive optics measurement and correction. Due to the complexity of analytic treatments, numerical optimizations are often employed. A disadvantage of this approach is the lack of gradients, limiting optimization methods to derivative-free ones such as simplex or genetic algorithms. We explore a reformulation of beam optics that preserves gradient information by making use of efficient automatic differentiation tools from machine learning frameworks. First, standard beam dynamics computations are converted to a graph of operations on tensors that calculates objectives. Backpropagation is then performed to find parameter gradients and higher order derivatives. Using gradient-aware optimizer algorithms, we showed improved performance in beamline optics matching over existing tools. We also demonstrated an important use of differentiable models in Bayesian inference, whereby probabilistic estimates of magnet parameters and linear optics functions can be obtained from experimental measurements. Our results on test problems showed robust performance and estimates in agreement with standard LOCO methods. |
