	Funding: National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) This work presents a review of the shift in tuning methods employed at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). We explore the tuning categories and methods employed in four key sections of the accelerator, namely the Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), the Drift Tube Linac (DTL), the side-Coupled Cavity Linac (CCL), and the High-Energy Beam Transport (HEBT). The study additionally presents the findings of employing novel software tools and algorithms to enhance each domain’s beam quality and performance. This study showcases the efficacy of integrating model-driven and model-independent tuning techniques, along with acceptance and adaptive tuning strategies, to enhance the optimization of beam delivery to experimental facilities. The research additionally addresses the prospective strategies for augmenting the control system and diagnostics of LANSCE. R.W. Garnett, J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 1021 012001 A. Scheinker, Rev. ST Accel.

THPDP028	Particle Swarm Optimization Techniques for Automatic Beam Transport at the Lnl Superconducting Linac Accelerators	EPICS, controls, cavity, linac	1370
	M. Montis, L. Bellan INFN/LNL, Legnaro (PD), Italy
	The superconductive quarter wave cavities hadron Lin-ac ALPI is the final acceleration stage at the Legnaro National Laboratories and it is going to be used as re-acceleration line of the radioactive ion beams for the SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project. The Linac was designed in ’90s with the available techniques and it was one of the peak technologies of this kind in Europe at those times, controls included. In the last decade, controls related to all the functional systems composing the accelerator have been ungraded to an EPICS-based solution. This upgrade has given us the opportunity to design and test new possible solutions for automatic beam transport. The work described in this paper is based on the experience and results (in terms of time, costs, and manpower) obtained using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques for beam transport optimization applied to the ALPI accelerator. Due to the flexibility and robustness of this method, this tool will be extended to other parts of the facility.

THPDP029	Alpi-Piave Beam Transport Control System Upgrade at Legnaro National Laboratories	controls, EPICS, power-supply, Ethernet	1374
	M. Montis, F. Gelain, M.G. Giacchini INFN/LNL, Legnaro (PD), Italy
	During the last decade, the control system employed for ALPI and PIAVE Accelerators was upgraded to the new EPICS-based framework as part of the new standards adopted in the SPES project in construction in Legnaro. The actual control for beam transport was fully completed in 2015 and it has been in production since that year. Due to the power supply upgrade and to optimize costs and maintenance time, the original controllers based on in-dustrial PCs were substituted with dedicated serial-over-ethernet devices and Virtual Machines (VMs). In this work we will describe the solution designed and imple-mented for ALPI-PIAVE accelerators.
