Description

Abstract: After a decade of dormancy, the Universitya of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s linear accelerator and free-electron laser (FEL) facility is undergoing revitalization. Alongside experimental recommissioning, extensive simulation efforts are underway to model, optimize, and modernize the system. Simulations span the entire beamline, from the electron gun and diagnostic chicanes to the FEL oscillator, using specialized codes for each subsystem. In parallel, a unifying simulation framework is being developed to integrate these modules into a comprehensive "digital twin" of the accelerator. This foundation will enable future AI-assisted optimization and autonomous operation. We summarize the current status of these simulation developments and outline plans for upcoming studies.
