Abstract

The matching problem for a low energy transport system is approached from a control theoretical viewpoint. The beam dynamics are modeled using the KV (Kapchinskij- Vladimirskij) envelope equations. Multi-Parameter Extremum Seeking, a real-time non-model based optimization technique, is considered in this work for the lens tuning in the beam matching system. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of this approach.
