Bayesian Optimization is an efficient machine\u0000learning approach to finding global optima of beam quality, but the model can\u0000easily be impaired by faulty data points caused by the beam going off the edge\u0000of the sensor or by background noise. This study, conducted at the National\u0000Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) facility at Brookhaven National\u0000Laboratory (BNL), is an investigation of methods to identify untrustworthy\u0000readings of beam quality and discourage the optimization model from seeking out\u0000points likely to yield low-fidelity beams. The approaches explored include\u0000dynamic pruning using loss analysis of size and position models and a\u0000lengthscale-based genetic algorithm to determine which points to include in the\u0000model for optimal fit. Each method successfully classified high and low\u0000fidelity points.

The development of ANAs is\u0000conducted at universities and national laboratories worldwide. The community is\u0000thematically broad and diverse, in particular since lasers suitable for ANA\u0000research (multi-hundred-terawatt peak power, a few tens of femtosecond-long\u0000pulses) and acceleration of electrons to hundreds of mega electron volts to\u0000multi giga electron volts became commercially available. The community spans\u0000several continents (Europe, America, Asia), including more than 62 laboratories\u0000in more than 20 countries. It is among the missions of the ICFA-ANA panel to\u0000feature the amazing progress made with ANAs, to provide international\u0000coordination and to foster international collaborations towards a future HEP\u0000collider. The scope of this edition of the workshop was to discuss the recent\u0000progress and necessary steps towards realizing a linear collider for particle\u0000physics based on novel-accelerator technologies (laser or beam driven in plasma\u0000or structures). Updates on the relevant aspects of the European Strategy for\u0000Particle Physics (ESPP) Roadmap Process as well as of the P5 (in the US) were\u0000presented, and ample time was dedicated to discussions. The major outcome of\u0000the workshop is the decision for ALEGRO to coordinate efforts in Europe, in the\u0000US, and in Asia towards a pre-CDR for an ANA-based, 10,TeV CM collider. This\u0000goal of this coordination is to lead to a funding proposal to be submitted to\u0000both EU and EU/US funding agencies.

{"title":"Hall Effect, Magnetoresistance, and Current Distribution in Quench Heaters","authors":"J. Rysti","doi":"arxiv-2407.19830","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2407.19830","url":null,"abstract":"Quench heaters are often an essential part of protecting a superconducting\u0000accelerator magnet during a quench. Their purpose is to spread the quench\u0000throughout the coil as quickly as possible. They are located in areas of high\u0000magnetic fields and are thus prone to magnetoresistive phenomena and the Hall\u0000effect. Such influences can cause currents to distribute unevenly in the\u0000heaters, which results in uneven heating. This can reduce the effectiveness of\u0000the heaters and even endanger them due to excessive local heating. Also, the\u0000heater geometry itself can be the cause of uneven current density. In this paper we investigate by numerical simulations the importance of the\u0000magnetic effects on quench heater performance and whether they should be taken\u0000into account in the design. The main interest is in the Hall effect, which was\u0000perceived as the most likely source of trouble for the design of quench\u0000heaters. We use a simple phenomenological approach for modeling the Hall\u0000effect, utilizing values from the literature for the Hall coefficients.\u0000Magnetoresistance is also considered and the impact of heater geometry on\u0000current distributions is briefly visited. The conclusion of this research is that magnetoresistance plays an\u0000insignificant role in the functioning of quench heaters. The Hall effect can\u0000clearly be more influential, but nevertheless should not pose any problems in\u0000most cases. Current distributions due to heater geometry should be take into\u0000consideration in the design phase and, if needed, take measures to equalize the\u0000current density by using, for example, copper cladding in appropriate\u0000locations.","PeriodicalId":501318,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Accelerator Physics","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141872895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
