• Abstract: Beam steering is the process involving the calibration of the angle and position at which a particle accelerator's electron beam is incident upon the x-ray target with respect to the rotation axis of the collimator. Beam Steering is an essential task for light sources. In the case under study, the LINAC To Undulator (LTU) section of the beamline is difficult to aim. Each use of the accelerator requires re-calibration of the magnets in this section. This involves a substantial amount of time and effort from human operators, while reducing scientific throughput of the light source. We investigate the use of deep neural networks to assist in this task. The deep learning models are trained on archival data and then validated on simulation data. The performance of the deep learning model is contrasted against that of trained human operators.

  In previous research, we developed methods to train decision trees (DT) as agents for reinforcement learning tasks. We apply this algorithm to a real-world implementation of a robotic task for the first time. Our results demonstrate the applicability of the algorithm to real-world tasks by generating a DT whose performance matches the performance of the DRL agent.
