High-fidelity physics simulations are powerful tools in the design and optimization of charged particle accelerators. However, computational burden these often limits their use practice for experiment planning. It also precludes as on-line models tied directly to accelerator operation. We introduce an approach based on machine learning create nonlinear, fast-executing surrogate that informed by a sparse sampling simulation.

This article reviews the development of some novel low-profile antennas for CubeSats. The integrated were developed using microstrip-antenna technology, and designed to be low profile while having minimal (or zero) blockage solar panels on CubeSat. Two types designs investigated: 1) transparent antennas, which are placed above (supersolar) 2) nontransparent below (subsolar). For past: metal a wire mesh design. indium tin oxide has comparatively high sheet impedance, makes an antenna design...
A long-sought-after goal for photocathode electron sources has been to improve performance by temporally shaping the incident excitation laser pulse. The narrow bandwidth, short wavelength, and picosecond pulse duration make it challenging employ conventional spectral techniques. We present a novel efficient intensity-envelope technique achieved during nonlinear upconversion through opposite-chirp sum-frequency mixing. also numerical case study of linac coherent light source-II photoinjector...

Machine learning (ML) models of accelerator systems ('surrogate models') are able to provide fast, accurate predictions physics phenomena. However, approaches date typically do not include measured input diagnostics, such as the initial beam distributions, which critical for accurately representing evolution through system. In addition, these inputs often vary over time, and that can account changing conditions needed. As time measurements is limited, simulations in some cases needed...
