The topical series of LLRF workshops is meant to bring together a diverse group of experts spanning disciplines beyond the traditional LLRF field in particle accelerators. The intent is to provide a basis for understanding the technologies and constraints which drive critical engineering decisions in multiple disciplines.
This year's event will focus on Advanced Feedback Control: Control systems are used across a wide range of applications, from simple proportional–integral (PI) loops to more advanced control architectures. In many cases, achieving the best performance requires a systematic, control-theory-based optimization approach. A careful and rigorous design and tuning process can substantially improve performance and robustness, often translating directly into better efficiency and overall system reliability. Bringing together the LLRF, orbit feedback, instabilities control, and collision point stabilization with other communities such as quantum computing, astrophysics or autonomous driving to share experiences and discuss new ideas and trends.
This event is the third topical workshop organized as a spin-off of the bi-annual LLRF workshop series. The LLRF workshop series was established in 2001 and starting in 2018, the scientific program committee began organizing a more focused, topical, event in the year between the main workshops.
Topics we will dive into:
- Control Architecture and Strategies
- Control Hardware Platfroms
- System Identification
- Control Loop Modeling, Tuning and Optimization
- Data driven control
- Sensors and actuators
