Online regularization of Poincaré map of storage rings with Shannon entropy

A measurable chaos indicator is used as the online optimization objective in tuning a complicated nonlinear system—the National Synchrotron Light Source-II storage ring. Through analyzing the Shannon entropy in measured Poincaré maps, not only can the commonly used nonlinear characterizations be extracted, but more importantly, the chaos can be quantified and then used for an online regularization of these maps. The method itself is general and applicable to other tunable nonlinear systems as well. Published by the American Physical Society 2025

Approximate entropy analysis for nonlinear beam dynamics

In this paper, we applied an approximate entropy (ApEn) analysis to nonlinear beam dynamics. Due to the presence of strong nonlinear magnets, the degree of chaos in beam motion gradually increases proportionally with its amplitude. Such chaos can be quantitatively characterized with ApEn of beam turn-by-turn readings. ApEn analysis is a technique used to quantify the amount of regularity and the unpredictability of fluctuations with respect to time-series data. The ApEn, when applied as a chaos indicator, can then be used for nonlinear lattice optimization and analysis. The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) electron storage ring lattice was used as an example of a real-world application of our technique. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
