A neural network model of a quasiperiodic elliptically polarizing undulator in universal mode

Abstract

Machine learning has recently been applied and deployed at several light source facilities in the domain of accelerator physics. Here, an approach based on machine learning to produce a fast-executing model is introduced that predicts the polarization and energy of the radiated light produced at an insertion device. This paper demonstrates how a machine learning model can be trained on simulated data and later calibrated to a smaller, limited measured data set, a technique referred to as transfer learning. This result will enable users to efficiently determine the insertion device settings for achieving arbitrary beam characteristics.
