Online multi-objective particle accelerator optimization of the AWAKE electron beam line for simultaneous emittance and orbit control

Multi-objective optimization is important for particle accelerators where various competing objectives must be satisfied routinely such as, for example, transverse emittance vs bunch length. We develop and demonstrate an online multi-time scale multi-objective optimization algorithm that performs real time feedback on particle accelerators. We demonstrate the ability to simultaneously minimize the emittance and maintain a reference trajectory of a beam in the electron beamline in CERN's Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE).
