Combined, the magnets allowed measurements of electron-beam energy, with range and resolution comparable to what is achieved using the multi-ton magnet located behind them.

Machine Learning Enhances Light-Beam Performance at the Advanced Light Source

Image - This image shows the profile of an electron beam at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source synchrotron, represented as pixels measured by a charged coupled device (CCD) sensor. When stabilized by a machine-learning algorithm, the beam has a horizontal size dimension of 49 microns root mean squared and vertical size dimension of 48 microns root mean squared. Some types of experiments require that the corresponding light beam be stable on time scales ranging from seconds to hours to ensure reliable data. (Credit: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
