  Action and phase jump analysis has been used to estimate corrector strengths in the high luminosity interaction regions of the LHC. It has been proven that these corrections are effective to eliminate the beta-beating that is generated in those important regions and that propagates around the ring. More recently, it was also shown that the beta-beating at the interaction point can also be suppressed by combining k-modulation measurements with action and phase jump analysis. Applying this technique to the re-commissioning of the LHC in 2021 requires a good knowledge of the software developed for action and phase jump analysis over the years. In this paper a detailed description is made of all the modules that are part of this software and the corresponding algorithms.

On the ion accelerator, transverse emittance diagnostics usually happens at the low-energy transportation region, one device named "Allison Scanner" is commonly used to achieve this goal. In this contribution, we present the software development for both the high-level GUI application and the online data analysis, to help the users to get the beam transverse emittance information as precise and efficient as possible, meanwhile, the entire workflow including the UI interaction would be smooth and friendly enough. One soft-IOC application has been created for the device simulation and application development. A dedicated 2D image data visualization widget is also introduced for general-purposed PyQt GUI development.

In this work we will present an overview of the diagnostics systems put in place by FRIB’s Beam Instrumentation and Measurements department. We will focus on the controls and integration aspects for different kinds of equipment, such as pico ammeters and motor controllers, used to drive and readback the devices deployed on the beamline, such as profile monitors, Faraday cups, etc. In particular, we will discuss the controls software used in our deployment and how we make use of continuous integration and deployment systems to automate certain tasks and make the controls system in production more robust.

We are upgrading the BPM processors in the SPEAR3 accelerator complex as several of the existing systems have reached end of life. To reduce the resources required for maintenance we have evaluated and installed several commercial BPM processors from the SPARK series of Libera/Instrumentation Technologies. In SPEAR3 we evaluated the SPARK-ERXR turn-by-turn BPM processor as a replacement to the in-house developed/commercially built Echotek processors that are used for a range of accelerator physics studies. We show measurements of the orbit dynamics with another SPARK-ERXR in the booster synchrotron from beam injection up to ejection. We have further evaluated a Spark-EL in the transport lines to replace the in-house built uTCA-based single-pass BPM processors. In this paper we show measurements and discuss our experience with the Libera SPARK series of BPM processors and comment on the software integration.

In particle accelerators, the tracking simulation is usually performed with symplectic integration, or linear/nonlinear transfer maps. In this paper, it is shown that the linear/nonlinear transfer maps may be represented by an artificial neural network. To solve this multivariate regression problem, both random datasets and structured datasets are explored to train the neural networks. The achieved accuracy will be discussed.

Standard neural network algorithms are developed for classification and regression applications. In this paper, the details of the neural network algorithms are presented, together with several applications. Artificial neural network is trained to classify multi-class transfer matrix of different types of particle accelerator components. It is shown that with a fully-connected feedforward neural network, it is possible to get high accuracy of 99% on training data, validation data and test data.
