Leveraging Machine Learning (ML), we aim to automate and simplify the complex tuning of the XFEL light source accelerator, SACLA, thereby delivering extreme XFEL performance tailored to experimental user needs. Since 2020, we have implemented a Bayesian Optimization (BO)-based automated tuning framework at SACLA. This enables us to meet the detailed XFEL requirements for the approximately ten...
The development of Beam Position Monitors (BPMs), and particularly the design of the button pickup, is critically important with the new generation of Synchrotron Light Sources. Specifically, the miniaturization of the vacuum pipe and the broadening of the beam spectrum present special challenges for the button's design to meet the superior stability requirements demanded by new feedback...
In the past two decades, RF controls have improved by two orders in
magnitude achieving meanwhile sub-10 fs phase stabilities and 10e-4
amplitude precision. Analog-to-digital-converters (ADCs) are the main
limitation for further increase in detector resolution. Alternative
architectures are therefore needed to overcome this limitation. The
presented work covers a novel application of the...
