---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project: Z5 Title: Machine learning tool for ASTRA results analysis DESY group: Pitz Type: Online project Duration: 19th July - 10th Sep 2021 Description: Develop and demonstrate a software tool using machine learning to approximate and predict beam properties of ASTRA simulation results. Beam dynamics of space charge dominated beams in photo injectors is very limited in analytic solutions and requires time consuming simulations using macroparticle tracking algorithms, like ASTRA code. Machine learning algorithms allow prediction of results from input parameters without exact knowledge on the model. Using machine learning, many points in the ASTRA parameter space could be studied without running long time simulations for every setup. The summer student will develop and demonstrate a software tool using machine learning to approximate and predict particle beam properties of ASTRA simulation results. Special Qualifications expected: Knowledge on accelerator physics and programming skills in Python programming language are highly desirable.
