Description

The Isotope Production Facility (IPF) at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) contains an adjustable collimator, able to handle various aperture sizes. The collimator contains integrated temperature and current measurements provided for each collimator segment, for diagnostic and feedback purposes. To simplify collimation, we plan to replace this collimator system with a 'virtual' collimator, combining beam position monitors (BPM) and other simpler diagnostics with physics based machine learning techniques to automate tuning of the beamline. Details of the algorithms are presented, as well as some preliminary results.
