Automatic beam tuning in accelerator based on genetic algorithms

The paper introduces the Genetic Algorithms(GA) theory and the design point applied to the process of beam tuning in accelerator. It gives the design method about automatic beam tuning in accelerator which is based on GA, and moreover compiles a GA program that is used to carry out a computer simulation experiment in view of a section of beam line in HIRFL. Thus the paper proves the feasibility of automatic beam tuning based upon GA, and at the same time points out future research direction about the technology of automatic beam tuning．
