A hard x-ray self-seeding (HXRSS) setup will soon be available at the European X-ray Free
Electron Laser (XFEL). The availability of high repetition rate x-ray pulses poses novel …

Tuning machine parameters of particle accelerators is a repetitive and time-consuming task
that is challenging to automate. While many off-the-shelf optimization algorithms are …

With gigaelectron-volts per centimetre energy gains and femtosecond electron beams, laser
wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is a promising candidate for applications, such as ultrafast …

The free-electron laser (FEL) community is interested in taking full advantage of the high-

Abstract At the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ), an R&D platform for
electron FLASH and very high energy electron radiation therapy and radiation biology is …

Optimal tuning of particle accelerators is a challenging task. Many different approaches have
been proposed in the past to solve two main problems—attainment of an optimal working …

We propose a new beam diagnostics method to reconstruct the phase space of charged
particle bunches in five dimensions, which consist of the horizontal and vertical positions …

This paper presents a novel approach for constructing neural networks which model
charged particle beam dynamics. In our approach, the Taylor maps arising in the …

A hard X-ray Split-and-Delay Line (SDL) under construction for the Materials Imaging and
Dynamics station at the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) is presented. This …
