Slow extracted spill ripple control in the CERN SPS using adaptive Bayesian optimisation
/ Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Effinger, Ewald (CERN) ; Follin, Fabio (CERN) ; Velotti, Francesco (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Schenk, Michael (CERN) ; Madysa, Nico (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Arrutia Sota, Pablo Andreas (CERN)
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) offers slow-extracted, high-intensity proton beams at 400 GeV/c for 3 fixed targets in the CERN North Experimental Area (NA) with a spill length of about 5 seconds. Since first commissioning in the late seventies, the NA has seen a steady increase in users, many of which requiring improved spill quality control. [...]

First operational experience with data-driven hysteresis compensation for the main dipole magnets of the CERN SPS
/ Lu, Anton (CERN ; Vienna, Tech. U.) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Petrone, Carlo (CERN) ; Di Capua, Vincenzo (CERN) ; Schenk, Michael (CERN) ; Zannini, Carlo (CERN)
Magnetic hysteresis, eddy currents, and manufacturing imperfections pose significant challenges for beam operation in multi-cycling synchrotrons. Addressing the dynamic dependency of magnetic fields on cycling history is a current limitation for control room tools using existing models. [...]

Enhancing CERN-SPS slow extraction efficiency: meta Bayesian optimisation in crystal shadowing
/ Velotti, Francesco (CERN) ; Matheson, Eloise (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Solis Paiva, Santiago (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN)
The Super Proton Synchrotron at CERN serves the fixed-target experiments of the North Area, providing protons and ions via slow extraction, and employs the crystal shadowing technique to significantly minimize losses. Over the past three operational years, the use of a crystal, positioned upstream of the electrostatic septum to shadow its blade, has allowed to achieve a 25% reduction in losses. [...]

Empty-bucket techniques for spill-quality improvement at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron
/ Arrutia Sota, Pablo A (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew A (CERN) ; Hagmann, Gregoire (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Papotti, Giulia (CERN) ; Spierer, Arthur (CERN) ; Velotti, Francesco M (CERN) ; Burrows, Philip N (JAI, UK) ; Piandani, Roberto (San Luis Potosi U.)
Synchrotrons can provide long spills of particles by employing resonant extraction where the circulating beam is slowly ejected over thousands to millions of turns by exploiting the amplitude growth caused by a transverse resonance. In the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), this method is used to satisfy the experimental requests of the North Area. [...]

Beam Performance with the LHC Injectors Upgrade

The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project was put in place between 2010 and 2021 to increase the intensity and brightness in the LHC injectors to match the challenging requirements of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, while ensuring reliable operation of the injectors complex up to the end of the HL-LHC era (ca. 2040).

Hybrid actor-critic algorithm for quantum reinforcement learning at CERN beam lines
/ Schenk, Michael (CERN) ; Combarro, Elías F. (U. Oviedo (main)) ; Grossi, Michele (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Li, Kevin Shing Bruce (CERN) ; Popa, Mircea-Marian (Bucharest, Polytechnic Inst.) ; Vallecorsa, Sofia (CERN)
Free energy-based reinforcement learning (FERL) with clamped quantum Boltzmann machines (QBM) was shown to significantly improve the learning efficiency compared to classical Q-learning with the restriction, however, to discrete state-action space environments. In this paper, the FERL approach is extended to multi-dimensional continuous state-action space environments to open the doors for a broader range of real-world applications. [...]
