IPM Profile Distortion

+V
-V

Ideal case

Particles move on straight lines towards the detector

Real case

Trajectories are influenced by initial momenta and by interaction with beam field

Counteract via ...

Increase of electric field

Resulting in smaller extraction times and hence smaller displacements; limit is quickly reached

Additional magnetic field

Constrains the maximal displacement to the gyroradius of the resulting motion; usually an effective measure

Distortion without magnetic field

  • Already observed in [W. DeLuca, IEEE 1969]
    (+ observation of focusing for electron collection)
  • R. E. Thern "Space-charge Distortion in the Brookhaven Ionization Profile Monitor" PAC 1987
    • Simulations + Measurements
    • Good agreement for nominal extraction voltages
    • Disagreement at lower extraction voltages
  • W. Graves "Measurement of Transverse Emittance in the Fermilab Booster" PhD 1994
\sigma_{\textrm{beam}} = c_1 + c_2\sigma_{\textrm{measured}} + c_3N
\sigma_m = \sigma + 0.302\frac{N^{1.065}}{\sigma^{2.065}}\left(1 + 3.6\,R^{1.54}\right)^{-0.435}

+ other approaches, including non-Gaussian beam shapes via iterative procedures

Distortion with magnetic field

  • More complex motion also due to the interaction with beam electric field
  • Capturing effects as well as different electromagnetic drifts play a role
  • Displacement from initial position can be mainly ascribed to three different effects:
    • Displacement of gyro-center due to initial velocities
    • Displacement of gyro-center due to space-charge interaction
    • Displacement due to gyro-motion above detector

Space-charge region

Detector region

(\Delta x_1)
(\Delta x_2)
(\Delta x_3)

🠖 Final motion is determined by effects in the "space-charge region"

Electron trajectories

ExB-drift

Polarization drift

\left(\frac{d\vec{E}}{dt}\right)

Capturing

"Pure" gyro-motion

  • The resulting motion strongly depends on the starting position within the bunch and hence on the bunch shape itself
     
  • Various electromagnetic drifts / interactions create a complex dependence of the final gyro-motion on the initial conditions

p-bunch

Electron motion

18/09/2018

3rd IPM Workshop, D. Vilsmeier

Gyro-radius increase

  • This interaction effectively results in an increase of gyro-radii which consequently determines the profile distortion

 

  • The increase itself depends on the starting position and thus on the bunch shape
    🠖 prevents usage of simple description by other beam parameters (e.g. point-spread functions)

Profile distortion

Ideally a one-dimensional projection the the transverse beam profile is measured, but...

\begin{aligned} & E \; & 6.5 \, \textrm{TeV} \\ & N_q \; & 2.1\cdot 10^{11} \\ & \sigma_x \; & 0.27 \, \textrm{mm} \\ & \sigma_y \; & 0.36 \, \textrm{mm} \\ & 4\sigma_z \; & 0.9 \, \textrm{ns} \end{aligned}

Magnetic field increase

N-turn B-fields

Without space-charge electrons at the bunch center will perform exactly N turns for specific magnetic field strengths

Due to space-charge interaction only large field strengths are effective though

ANN Implementation 

IDense = partial(Dense, kernel_initializer=VarianceScaling())

# Create feed-forward network.
model = Sequential()

# Since this is the first hidden layer we also need to specify
# the shape of the input data (49 predictors).
model.add(IDense(200, activation='relu', input_shape=(49,))
model.add(IDense(170, activation='relu'))
model.add(IDense(140, activation='relu'))
model.add(IDense(110, activation='relu'))

# The network's output (beam sigma). This uses linear activation.
model.add(IDense(1))
model.compile(
    optimizer=Adam(lr=0.001),
    loss='mean_squared_error'

Why ANNs?

Universal approximation theorem

Every finite continuous "target" function can be approximated with arbitrarily small error by feed-forward network with single hidden layer

[corresponding Cybenko 1989; Hornik 1991]

y = \sum_j^n w_j^o \cdot \sigma\left( \sum_k^d w_{jk}^h x_k + b_j \right)

\(n\) hidden units

activation function

\(d\) - dimensional domain

parameters to be "optimized"

Proof of existence, i.e. no universal optimization algorithm exists 🠖 "No free lunch theorem"

Works on compact subsets of \(\mathbb{R}^d\)

Profile RMS Inference - Results

Tested also other machine learning algorithms:

• Linear regression (LR)
• Kernel ridge regression (KRR)
• Support vector machine (SVR)

Multi-layer perceptron (= ANN)

Very good results on simulation data 🠖 below 1% accuracy

Results are without consideration of noise on profile data

18/09/2018

3rd IPM Workshop, D. Vilsmeier

RMS Inference with Noise

Linear regression model

no noise on training data

similar noise on training data

Linear regression amplifies noise in predictions if not explicitly trained

Multi-layer perceptron

MLP amplifies noise; bounded activation functions could help; as well as duplicating data before "noising"

  • tanh activation function

Performance measure

  • Mean squared error (MSE)
\textrm{MSE} = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}\left( y_{p,i} - y_{i} \right)^2

prediction

\begin{aligned} \textrm{mean} &= 0.1231 \\ \textrm{std} &= 0.0808 \end{aligned}

Generalized Gaussian bunch shape

\frac{\beta}{2\alpha\Gamma(1/\beta)}e^{-\left(\lvert x-\mu\rvert/\alpha\right)^{\beta}}

Gen-Gauss used for testing while training (fitting) was performed with Gaussian bunch shape

\beta = 3
\beta = 1.5

Smaller distortion in this case

\begin{aligned} \textrm{mean} &= 0.0278 \\ \textrm{std} &= 0.0237 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \textrm{mean} &= 0.0068 \\ \textrm{std} &= 0.0087 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \textrm{mean} &= 0.1638 \\ \textrm{std} &= 0.0974 \end{aligned}

Q-Gaussian bunch shape

\frac{\sqrt{\beta}}{C_q}\left[1 - (1 - q)\beta x^2\right]^{\frac{1}{1-q}}

Q-Gauss used for testing while training (fitting) was performed with Gaussian bunch shape

q = 0.6
q = 2.0
\begin{aligned} \textrm{mean} &= 0.0013 \\ \textrm{std} &= 0.0003 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \textrm{mean} &= 0.0042 \\ \textrm{std} &= 0.0038 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \textrm{mean} &= 0.2034 \\ \textrm{std} &= 0.1034 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \textrm{mean} &= 0.0057 \\ \textrm{std} &= 0.0068 \end{aligned}

No distortion for this case
🠖 nothing to correct for; MLP preserves the state

Model prediction uncertainty

  • Could train multiple models with different initialization and different data presentation 🠖 ensemble of predictions
  • Emulate multi-model ensemble by using "Dropout" layers (also for predictions)

inactive

active

MLP shows very small standard deviation in predictions 🠖 the fitting converged well, small model uncertainty

Sub-resolution measurements

  • Understanding or (machine) "learning" beam profile deformation (and how to revert it), this information could be used to measure beams that are smaller than the resolution of the detector (by provoking a deformation / blow-up, then reverting it)
  • Example: SwissXFEL, 5.8 GeV electrons, 230 pC bunch charge, 21 fs bunch length, 5-7 μm transverse size
  • Bunch size is 1/10-th of detector resolution however the deformed profile is well above and strongly depends on the bunch size
  • Alternative to R. Tarkeshian et al. Phys. Rev. X 8, 021039 (reconstruction based on ion energies)

Summary

  • Successful beam RMS reconstruction with various machine learning models
  • Reconstruction of complete profiles with multi-layer perceptron model
    • The mapping generalizes to different beam shapes
    • Model seems to "learn" the distortion mechanisms rather than specific beam shapes
  • Model uncertainty estimates show small variations
  • These methods could potentially be used to measure sub-resolution beam profiles
