MC1.A01: Beam Dynamics, beam simulations, beam transport

Poster Presentation

Emittance exchange (EEX) is an attractive approach for generating high-frequency bunch trains from transverse modulations. Ongoing efforts aim to explore the limits of longitudinal modulations achievable with EEX beamlines and methods for enhancing radiation brightness for a given beam. One project investigates the generation of nanometer-scale longitudinal modulation using a transmission...

MC4.A04: Low level RF

Poster Presentation

Low-Level RF (LLRF) systems are essential for maintaining amplitude and phase stability in modern linear accelerators, directly affecting beam quality and operational reliability. The increasing use of X-band technology in compact, high-gradient linacs enables ultra-short RF pulses and higher accelerating fields, while also increasing sensitivity to phase noise, timing jitter, and thermal...

MC1.A02 Electron and ion sources, guns, photo injectors, charge breeders

Poster Presentation

Pico- and subpicosecond electron bunches with low transverse emittance and charges up to hundreds of picocoulombs, routinely generated in high-gradient RF photoguns, are essential for high-brightness light sources. Photoemission governs the initial bunch properties and is central to forming high-brightness beams. Classical photoemission models (Spicer and Fowler–DuBridge) do not always...

484. A physics-motivated surrogate framework for beam transport optimization in linear accelerators (SUPO011)

MC1.A01: Beam Dynamics, beam simulations, beam transport

Poster Presentation

Optimization of beam transport systems in linear accelerators is a nonlinear and computationally intensive task due to the complex interdependencies between beam properties and machine parameters. In this work, a physics-motivated surrogate modeling approach is developed to optimize the processes of the best accelerator parameters exploration. The proposed framework approximates...
