Sensitivity Analysis of Beam-influencing Parameters at the S-DALINAC Using Surrogate Models* — •Dominic Schneider, Michaela Arnold, Jonny Birkhan, Norbert Pietralla, and Felix Schließmann — Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt, Germany

Particle accelerates are complex systems that coincide with their ideal design within the tolerances of its large number of technical components, only. Quantitative understanding of the beam dynamics and the analysis of their sensitivity to various components are challenging tasks. Machine learning methods provide a significant potential for the optimized operation of particle accelerators. In this contribution, the first application of so-called surrogate models to the electron accelerator S-DALINAC will be discussed. This machine learning technique gives access to predict future behavior and an extensive set of characteristics that can be extracted by analyzing the trained model. The talk will focus on a series of measurements performed in the injector section of the accelerator to study the behavior of beam-influencing elements. Surrogate models, constructed and based on the acquired data, are being evaluated to reveal the behavior of these elements. Based on the information obtained, optimizations of the alignment of magnets as well as the beam dynamics simulations at the S-DALINAC will be discussed.
