基于QuickPIC的等离子体尾波加速中束流负载贝叶斯优化

Bayesian Optimization of Beam Loading in Plasma Wakefield Acceleration with QuickPIC

  • 摘要: 等离子体尾波场加速可通过高能粒子束或激光在等离子体中激发尾波场,实现对尾随电子(或正电子)束的高梯度加速。束流负载的欠载或过载均会显著影响束流的能散、发射度等品质。而该效应的优化涉及复杂非线性物理过程,难以依靠传统试错方法高效实现参数调控。本文基于准静态粒子网格模拟程序QuickPIC与贝叶斯优化方法,构建了以加、减速场均匀性为核心优化目标的束流分布优化算法。同时,我们还改进了贝叶斯优化算法,实现了高维参数空间的高效探索。数值模拟结果表明,优化后的束流参数可获得最优束流负载分布,显著改善尾波场质量,有效抑制束流不稳定性的产生;改进后的优化算法优化效率提升了7.6倍,优化目标函数值缩小了4.65倍。本研究为等离子体尾波场加速在紧凑型加速器与未来高能对撞机中的应用提供了可靠的束流优化方案,同时也验证了改进贝叶斯优化算法在处理复杂等离子体加速问题中的高效性。

     

    Abstract: Plasma wake field accelerator achieves high accelerating gradient on trailing electron (or positron) beams by exciting wake fields in a plasma through high-energy particle beams or high intensity laser pulses. Both underloaded and overloaded beam can significantly affect the accelerated beam quality, including energy spread and emittance, as well as the acceleration efficiency. Such beam loading effect involves complex nonlinear physical processes, which makes its optimization difficult with the traditional parameter scan method. In this work, we employs the quasi-static particle-in-cell simulation code QuickPIC together with the Bayesian optimization algorithm to find the optimal beam profile that can flattened longitudinal electric field inside the plasma wake. We also improve this Bayesian optimization algorithm by introducing an efficient exploration method for high-dimensional parameter spaces. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the optimal beam parameters can significantly improve the wake field’s quality. The enhanced algorithm achieves a 7.6 times increase in optimization efficiency and a 4.65 times decrease in the absolute objective function value. This work provides a reliable beam optimization solution for the plasma wake field accelerator applications in the compact accelerators and future high-energy colliders as well as shows the availability and high efficiency of the improved Bayesian optimization algorithm.
