Particle accelerators are extremely complex machines that are challenging to simulate,
design, and control. Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning …

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) operates a 6 GeV fourth generation
light source, the ESRF-Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS). This storage ring is the first to …

Since 2015 the LHC has been operating at 6.5 TeV. In 2016 the β-functions at the interaction
points of ATLAS and CMS were squeezed to 0.4 m. This is below the design β*= 0.55 m at 7 …

This paper presents a novel approach for constructing neural networks which model
charged particle beam dynamics. In our approach, the Taylor maps arising in the …

Magnetic field errors and misalignments cause optics perturbations, which can lead to
machine safety issues and performance degradation. The correlation between magnetic …

Measurement and correction of focusing errors is of great importance for performance and
machine protection of circular accelerators. Furthermore LHC needs to provide equal …

In 2017, optics commissioning strategy for low-β* operation of the CERN Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) underwent a major revision. This was prompted by a need to extend the …

Optics corrections in the LHC are based on a response matrix between available correctors
and observables. Supervised learning has been applied to optics correction in the LHC …
