Description

Since its commissioning, operators at the Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerator System (ATLAS) have used an analog current meter to manually record beam current measurements from Faraday cups along the beamline. Recently an automated process using a digital picoammeter was developed for beam current measurements. This automation has streamlined daily operations, increased the precision of measurements, and expedited the generation of digital data for use with ongoing artificial intelligence and machine learning work (AI/ML).
