As the world’s first electron cooler that uses radio frequency (rf) accelerated electron bunches, the low energy RHIC electron cooling (LEReC) system is a nonmagnetized cooler of ion beams in RHIC at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Beam dynamics in LEReC are different from the more conventional electron coolers due to the bunching of the electron beam. To ensure an efficient cooling performance at LEReC, many parameters need to be monitored and fine-tuned. The alignment of the electron and ion trajectories in the LEReC cooling sections is one of the most critical parameters. This work explores using a machine learning (ML) method - Bayesian Optimization (BO) to optimize the trajectories’ alignment. Experimental results demonstrate that ML methods such as BO can perform control tasks efficiently in the RHIC controls system.

Coherent electron cooling is a novel cooling technique which cools high-energy hadron beams rapidly by amplifying the modulation induced by hadrons in electron bunches. The Coherent electron cooling (CeC) experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is a proof-of-principle test facility to demonstrate this technique. To achieve efficient cooling performance, electron beams generated in the CeC need to meet strict quality standards. In this work, we first present sensitivity studies of the low energy beam transport (LEBT) section, in preparation for building a surrogate model of the LEBT line in the future. We also present preliminary test results of a machine learning (ML) algorithm developed to improve the efficiency of slice-emittance measurements in the CeC diagnostic line.
