    In the name of the organising committee, I would like to welcome you to this workshop. I think I owe to some of you few introductory words. LEAPS is a strategic consortium created in end of 2017 by the Directors of the Synchrotron Radiation and Free Electron Laser user facilities in Europe. During the last year and triggered partially by the new situation created by the sanitary crisis, Helmut...

    Digital Twin: Beyond the buzz word. A light-sources perspective.
    The Digital Twin (DT) is the next step of the digital transformation. Ideally, this virtual representation of a device, a process or a whole facility, behaves as its physical equivalent. However, its capabilities go far beyond the imitation game. It is usually first and foremost developed to contribute to manage the overall life...

    Experiments conducted in large scientific research infrastructures, such as synchrotrons, free electron lasers, and neutron sources become increasingly complex. Such experiments, often investigating complex physical systems, are usually performed under strict time limitations and may depend critically on experimental parameters. To prepare and analyze these complex experiments, a virtual...

    This contribution gives an overview of two activities regarding "digital twins" of the European XFEL accelerator. The first one is the operation and enhancement of the Virtual XFEL, a clone of the machine control system for testing mid- and high-level software. Using a custom physics simulation written in C++, the Virtual XFEL performs single-particle and envelope tracking in realtime. The...

    Digital twins of highly-nonlinear, time-dependent complex systems require to include knowledge on the initial experimental conditions, all relevant detection modalities and the complex system itself. In the case of plasma accelerators, these systems can be seen both as compact accelerators and complex systems to study. In both cases, they require considerable computational power to reach...

    Our team's activities center around dynamic systems, predominantly for scientific inquiry. Our interest is in the
    physics-informed construction and use of digital twins in real-time control systems. Why? Our complex systems
    can have millions of process variables, change over time, and the subsystems can influence one another. Further, on
    top of controlling these systems as understanding of...

    In the past decade Deep Learning (DL) proved to be very successful in tasks which involve image, signal and text analysis and recognition. Due to the complexity of the synchrotron control system and the physical phenomena occurring in such an infrastructure, it can benefit from novel deep learning techniques. Currently at Solaris two projects that involve the machine learning techniques are...

    At DESY different types of particle accelerators are operated and investigated. Particle accelerators are large, complex systems, with non-linear coupling between many components, and time varying, uncertain disturbances. Their operation is challenging due to are vast number of sub-components, high dimensionality, high data rates and different operating time scales, while at the same time...

    Plasma based accelerators, conceptual or experimental, are characterised by high dimensional non-linearly coupled parameter spaces. Further, the cost of probing each set of parameters, i.e. a plasma simulation or a measurement, is typically high. This makes simple exploration approaches like multidimensional scans unpractical and calls for more advanced strategies to optimise parameters.
    Here...

    The last few years have seen a strong increase in uptake of machine learning (ML) techniques in the domain of particle accelerators. ML techniques have been used in a number of applications, from anomaly detection to surrogate modelling, virtual diagnostics, tuning and control as well as advanced data analysis. This talk will explore the different applications where ML is becoming an...

    At ALBA Synchrotron the pinhole imaging system is able to see 6 beam images at once. Each beam image has its own properties, such as pinhole size, its point spread function (PSF), copper filter attenuation and region of interest (ROI), all of which impact the source beam size calculation. For now, all these parameters are observed and controlled manually. An artificial neural net (ANN) is...

    MXAimbot is a neural network based tool, designed to automate the task of centering samples for macro-molecular X-ray crystallography experiments before exposing the sample to the beam.

    MXAimbot uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on a few thousands images from an industrial vision camera pointed at the sample to predict suitable
    crystal centering for subsequent data...

    Recent developments in photon science enable the investigation of structures and fundamental dynamics at nanometer and femtosecond scales. The corresponding imaging techniques such as Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) at Grazing Incidence (GI-SAXS) or Ptychography produce imaging data at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. However, the reconstruction of relevant properties from...

    Longitudinal phase space (LPS) provides a critical information about electron beam dynamics for various scientific applications. For example, it can give insight into the high-brightness X-ray radiation from a free electron laser. Existing diagnostics are invasive, and often times cannot operate at the required resolution. In this work we present a machine learning-based Virtual Diagnostic...

    Generally, turn-to-turn power fluctuations of incoherent spontaneous synchrotron radiation in a storage ring depend on the 6D phase-space distribution of the electron bunch. In some cases, if only one parameter of the distribution is unknown, this parameter can be determined from the measured magnitude of these power fluctuations. In this contribution, we report the results of our experiment...

    A large amount of information extraction work is done in the frequency domain. Information at different frequencies contains different physical meanings. The convolution kernel is also called a filter, because the convolution process is actually a filtering process. This means that a deep convolutional neural network is like a string of intelligent filter banks. It is helpful for the...

    Electron ghost imaging has been established as a viable method that allows for advantages over traditional methods, such as making use of compressed sensing and a resolution increase from Fellgett's Advantage [1]. It has been applied to passive photocathode quantum efficiency mapping [2] and improving resolution within this context is discussed.

    We present data-driving modeling of the European XFEL photoinjector using a deep learning-based autoencoder. We show that the autoencoder trained only with experimental data can make high-fidelity predictions of megapixel images
    for the longitudinal phase-space measurement. We also discuss the practical challenges of building such an intelligent system for operation and propose a pragmatic...
