  The Dynamic Aperture (DA) is an important concept for the study of non-linear beam dynamics in a circular accelerator. It refers to the region in phase space where a particle’s motion remains bounded over a given number of turns. Understanding the features of DA is crucial for operating circular accelerators as it provides insights on non-linear beam dynamics and the phenomena affecting beam lifetime. The standard approach to calculate the DA is computationally very intensive. In our study, we aim at determining an optimal set of parameters that affect DA, like betatron tune, chromaticity, and Landau octupole strengths, using a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model. The DNN model predicts the so-called angular DA, based on simulated LHC data. To enhance its performance, we integrated the DNN model into an innovative Active Learning (AL) framework. This framework not only enables retraining and updating of the model, but also facilitates efficient data generation through smart sampling. The results demonstrate that the use of the Active Learning (AL) framework allows faster scanning of LHC ring configuration parameters without compromising the accuracy of the DA calculations.

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is expected to operate with unprecedented beam current and brightness from the beginning of Run 4 in 2029. In the context of the High Luminosity LHC project, the baseline operational scenarios are currently being developed. They require a large octupole current and a large chromaticity throughout the entire cycle, which drives a strong reduction of dynamic aperture, in particular at injection and during the luminosity production phase. Despite being highly constrained, the LHC optics and sextupole and octupole corrector circuits still offer a few degrees of freedom that can be used to reduce resonances and the extent of the tune footprint at constant Landau damping, thereby leading to an improvement of the dynamic aperture. This contribution presents the status of the analysis that will be used to prepare the optics baseline for LHC Run 4.

  Recently, several efforts have been made at CERN to develop a new tracking tool, Xsuite, which is intended to be the successor to SixTrack. In this framework, analysis tools have also been prepared with the goal of providing advanced post-processing techniques for the interpretation of dynamic aperture simulations. The proposed software suite, named Xdyna, is meant to be a successor to the existing SixDesk environment. It incorporates all recent approaches developed to determine the dynamic aperture for a fixed number of turns. It also enables studying the time evolution of the dynamic aperture and the fitting of rigorous models based on the stability-time estimate provided by the Nekhoroshev theorem. These models make it possible to link the dynamic aperture to beam lifetime, and thus provide very relevant information for the actual performance of particle colliders. These tools have been applied to studies related to the luminosity upgrade of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), the results of which are presented here.
