Tuning accelerators using machine learning
A computer-generated image based on the production-diffusion process shows a 2D projection of a particle accelerator beam. Starting with pure noise, signals from the accelerator guide the process adaptively. As a result, each version is a little easier to understand. Credit: Alexander Scheinker, Los Alamos National Laboratory Computer screens are stacked two and three high along the walls. The screen…

Niobium-tin magnets could be the key to unlocking the potential of heavy-ion accelerators
Cross-sectional view of the 28 GHz ECRIS superconducting magnet. Credit: Berkeley Lab Researchers in Berkeley Lab’s Accelerator Technology and Applied Physics (ATAP) department are collaborating with colleagues at Michigan State University’s Rare Isotope Beam Facility (FRIB), the world’s most powerful heavy ion accelerator, to We have developed a new superconducting magnet based on Tin (Nb3Sn) technology. The first-of-its-kind magnet has…
