The SPARC\textunderscore LAB test facility at the LNF (Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Rome) holds a high brightness photo-injector used to investigate advanced beam manipulation techniques. High brightness electron bunch trains (so-called comb beams) can be generated striking on the photo-cathode of a Radio Frequency (RF) photo-injector with a ultra-short UV laser pulse train in tandem with...
Current analytical beam tomography methods require an accurate representation of the beam transport matrix between the reconstruction and measurement locations. In addition, these methods need the transport matrix to be linear as the technique depends on a simple mapping of the projections between the two areas, a rotation, and a scaling. This work will explore expanding beam tomography for...
Gradient-free algorithms are commonly used because of the lack of knowledge about the derivative of the beam properties with respect to the accelerator parameters while running accelerator optimization simulations. However, similar to the automatic differentiation algorithms widely used in the AI/ML community, recent efforts have been made in the accelerator community to develop differentiable...
