Description

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming increasingly practical tools for accelerator operation and diagnostics. This talk will present an overview of ongoing AI/ML activities at the Advanced Photon Source. Topics include differentiable simulation methods for beam sigma matrix reconstruction, hysteresis-aware modeling and control, anomaly detection in power-supply and vibration systems, and retrieval-augmented tools for operational knowledge extraction. These activities demonstrate a broader direction toward integrating AI/ML with accelerator physics expertise to enable more robust diagnostics, improved operational awareness, and more automated workflows for accelerator operation.
