| Title | Digital twin development for the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory |

| Abstract | The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) at Brookhaven National Laboratory simulates the galactic cosmic ray space radiation environment by delivering high energy heavy ions and protons to the NSRL Target Room for radiobiology studies and microelectronics testing. The AGS Booster synchrotron delivers beams to the NSRL beamline via resonant slow extraction. NSRL tuning is difficult due to the non-linearity from slow extraction and octupoles, and the beam shape is optimized empirically by operators. To streamline and improve NSRL operations, we develop a real-time digital twin for the NSRL beam line, starting from the extraction bumps in the Booster and extending all the way to the targets. This digital twin allows users to both load live settings from the real system to the online model, and to send model suggested settings to the real machine. We demonstrate that an accurate digital twin can tremendously help improve operations at the NSRL beam line. |
