Description
Accurate beamline simulations are necessary for optimal operation of accelerator facilities, however many electrostatic accelerators are operated on the basis of operator intuition. In Australia, DC electrostatic accelerators are used to produce light and heavy ion species for many applications, ranging from quantum computing to nuclear physics. Here, we initiate the development of a modular digital twin, with the ultimate goal of providing data driven end-to-end modelling of accelerators and beamlines to assist in diagnostics and optimisation. We begin by considering a nuclear microprobe beamline at Melbourne University, which uses beams generated by a 5U Pelletron for elemental analysis with PIXE. The essential details of beam transport have been modelled, enabling improved understanding and visualisation of beamline operations. By keeping modularity as a central pillar during the development of this digital twin, we ensure that this initial iteration can be readily extended to other accelerators around Australia and the rest of the world.
