MC14: Digital Twins & Simulation
Contributed Oral Presentation

In this work, we develop a digital twin of the Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) subsystem on the Z Machine at Sandia National Laboratories. The Z Machine is a premier pulsed power research facility for studying high energy density science. Z’s SF6 subsystem provides centralized SF6 distribution to high voltage components which use it as an insulating gas to enable nanosecond time frame switching...

MC14: Digital Twins & Simulation
Contributed Oral Presentation

Particle accelerators are expensive machine complexes. Newer generation machines (e.g. synchrotron light sources) are more challenging to control. These will be only reasonably controllable with a dedicated software stack providing commissioning and tuning applications. This software stack is developed and validated during machine design and construction phase using Monte-Carlo studies. These...

MC14: Digital Twins & Simulation
Contributed Oral Presentation

Virtual Beam Line++ (VBL++) is an advanced nonlinear optical beam propagation code used for the design and operation of high-energy and high-power laser systems. It is the latest tool employed to precisely setup the National Ignition Facility’s (NIF) laser beams and support a broad range of missions from fusion ignition to high energy density science.
VBL++ also plays a critical role in...

MC14: Digital Twins & Simulation
Contributed Oral Presentation

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project employs the TANGO Controls framework to manage its telescopes. Within SKA MID, the Dish Local Monitoring and Control (LMC) software integrates dish sub-components into the overall control system. Because hardware availability is often limited, Dish LMC development and validation are heavily based on software simulators derived from Interface Control...

MC14: Digital Twins & Simulation
Contributed Oral Presentation

We present the initiation of a community-driven framework for the integration of accelerator digital twins into control systems: Twinac. Few facilities have fully integrated accelerator digital twins like at Cornell’s CHESS. Many facilities have active research to employ surrogate models to aid in operational decisions like at Argonne’s ALS, MSU’s FRIB, SLAC’s LCLS-II, and Fermilab’s...
