Extremum seeking (ES) is a powerful approach to the optimization and stabilization of
unknown dynamic systems and is an active field of research in control theory. This paper …

The Linac coherent light source x-ray free-electron laser is a complex scientific apparatus
which changes configurations multiple times per day, necessitating fast tuning strategies to …

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 …

We have evaluated the data-efficient Bayesian optimization method for the specific task of
injection tuning in a circular accelerator. In this paper, we describe the implementation of this …

Particle accelerators throughout the world vary widely in terms of age and availability of
advanced noninvasive diagnostics that provide varying levels of detail about the accelerated …

We demonstrate the recent designs of safe extremum seeking (Safe ES) on the 1-km-long
charged particle accelerator at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). Safe ES …

A new optimization algorithm is introduced for online optimization applications. The
algorithm was modified from the popular Nelder-Mead simplex method to make it noise …

This book provides systematic coverage of the beam-based techniques that accelerator
physicists use to improve the performance of large particle accelerators, including …

Although beam emittance is critical for the performance of high-brightness accelerators,
optimization is often time limited as emittance calculations, commonly done via quadrupole …

Coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) is an advanced non-destructive 3D X-ray imaging
technique for measuring a sample's electron density. The main challenge of CDI is loss of …
