Description
Advanced accelerator concepts rely on the precise measurement and control of the beam distribution. However, conventional methods used to characterize precise features of the beam distribution in six-dimensional phase space require many measurements taken over tens of hours of beam time. In recent years, generative phase space reconstruction (GPSR) has been shown to significantly reduce the number of measurements needed to reconstruct the beam distribution in four-, five-, and six-dimensional phase space by using a generative model of the beam combined with differentiable beam dynamics simulations. In this talk, we present an overview of the GPSR method, including its implementation at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator and other facilities. Furthermore, we show recent developments in GPSR that enable its use in real time for online tuning of beam distributions in advanced accelerator applications.
