  High-fi­delity, PIC-based beam dy­nam­ics sim­u­la­tions are time and re­source in­ten­sive. Con­sider a high di­men­sional search space, that is far too large to probe with such a high res­o­lu­tion sim­u­la­tion model. We demon­strate that a coarse sam­pling of the search space can pro­duce sur­ro­gate mod­els, which are ac­cu­rate and fast to eval­u­ate. In con­struct­ing the sur­ro­gate mod­els, we use ar­ti­fi­cial neural net­works [1] and mul­ti­vari­ate poly­no­mial chaos ex­pan­sion [2]. The per­for­mance of both meth­ods are demon­strated in a com­par­i­son with high-fi­delity sim­u­la­tions, using OPAL, of the Ar­gonne Wake­field Ac­cel­er­a­tor [3]. We claim that such sur­ro­gate mod­els are good can­di­dates for ac­cu­rate on-line mod­el­ing of large, com­plex ac­cel­er­a­tor sys­tems. We also ad­dress how to es­ti­mate the ac­cu­racy of the sur­ro­gate model and how to re­fine the sur­ro­gate model under chang­ing ma­chine con­di­tions. [1] A. L.

Ge­netic al­go­rithms are com­mon and often used in the ac­cel­er­a­tor com­mu­nity. They re­quire large amounts of com­pu­ta­tional re­sources and em­pir­i­cal ad­just­ment of hy­per­pa­ra­me­ters. Model based meth­ods are sig­nif­i­cantly more ef­fi­cient, but often la­beled as un­re­li­able for the non­lin­ear or un­smooth prob­lems that can be found in ac­cel­er­a­tor physics. We in­ves­ti­gate the be­hav­ior of both ap­proaches using a pho­toin­jec­tor op­er­ated in the space charge dom­i­nated regime. All op­ti­miza­tion runs are co­or­di­nated and man­aged by the Python li­brary libEnsem­ble, which is de­vel­oped at Ar­gonne Na­tional Lab­o­ra­tory.
