Machine learning enabled fast evaluation of dynamic aperture for storage ring accelerators

Abstract

For any storage ring-based large-scale scientific facility, one of the most important performance parameters is the dynamic aperture (DA), which measures the motion stability of charged particles in a global manner. To date, long-term tracking-based simulation is regarded as the most reliable method to calculate DA. However, numerical tracking may become a significant issue, especially when lots of candidate designs of a storage ring need to be evaluated. In this paper, we present a novel machine learning-based method, which can reduce the computation cost of DA tracking by approximately one order of magnitude, while keeping sufficiently high evaluation accuracy. Moreover, we demonstrate that this method is independent of concrete physical models of a storage ring. This method has the potential to be applied to similar problems of identifying irregular motions in other complex dynamical systems.
