Description

Particle accelerators are host to myriad nonlinear and complex physical phenomena. They often involve a multitude of interacting systems, are subject to tight performance demands, and should be able to run for extended periods of time with minimal interruptions. Machine learning constitutes a versatile set of techniques that are particularly well-suited to modeling, control, and diagnostic analysis of complex, nonlinear, and time-varying systems, as well as systems with large parameter spaces. Consequently, the use of adaptive, machine learning-based modeling and control techniques could be of significant benefit to particle accelerators. For the same reasons, particle accelerators are also extremely useful test-beds for these techniques. This talk briefly discusses some promising avenues for incorporating machine learning into particle accelerator control systems and shows some initial results from our work at Fermilab.
