SAPAF03 | Comparison of Model-Based and Heuristic Optimization Algorithms Applied to Photoinjectors Using Libensemble | simulation, cavity, space-charge, gun | 22 |
|
|||
Funding: U.S. DOE, OS, contract DE-AC02-06CH11357 and grant DE-SC0015479. 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. |

TUPAG13 | S-Based Macro-Particle Spectral Algorithm for an Electron Gun | electron, cathode, gun, simulation | 290 |
|
|||
We derive a Hamiltonian description of a continuous particle distribution and its electrostatic potential from the Low Lagrangian. The self consistent space charge potential is discretized according to the spectral Galerkin approximation. The particle distribution is discretized using macro-particles. We choose a set of initial and boundary conditions to model the TRIUMF 300keV thermionic DC electron gun. The field modes and macro-particle coordinates are integrated self-consistently. The current status of the implementation is discussed. | |||
