Title: Emerging Computational Workflows for Experiments at Particle Accelerators
Speaker: Christine Sweeney
Modern upgraded particle accelerator facilities are providing increased data volumes and velocity along with potentially shorter data collection times. Facility users are faced with many challenges in data analytics to support their experiments during beam time and in post-processing. The good news is that new software tools, AI/ML techniques, and hardware resources are becoming available. In this talk I will present three computational workflows: 1) real-time data analytics for dynamic diamond anvil cell and dynamic compression light source experiments, 2) an interfacility (light source to supercomputer) workflow for scalable single particle imaging, and 3) machine learning workflows for control and analysis of accelerator experiments. I will also mention some promising DOE efforts to support computational workflows at DOE facilities. Lastly, I will point to some future trends in computational workflows for accelerator applications.

Title: The Physics of Transverse Emittance Manipulations
Speaker: Bruce Carlsten
This talk will review the physics of phase-space manipulations in particle beams, which is a modern tool to exquisitely customize the transverse and longitudinal particle-beam parameters in accelerators. The key elements of several manipulation schemes will be discussed, focusing on the underlying beam physics. Particular attention will be paid to what is known as emittance compensation (which is widely used in X-ray free-electron lasers to reach extremely high beam brightnesses) and to special schemes of non-symplectic manipulations.
