Transverse excitation is a key method required for the operation of synchrotrons, a type of circular particle accelerator suitable for a wide range of applications. The excitation is essential to control the beam: First, it is used in the context of beam diagnostics to enable monitoring of the accelerator's working point (tune). [...]

Optimizing the injection process in particle accelerators is crucial for enhancing beam quality and operational efficiency. This paper presents a framework for utilizing reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize the injection process at accelerator facilities. [...]

At the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) the energy variable cyclotron JULIC is used as injector of the Cooler Synchrotron (COSY) and for low to medium current irradiations of different types. At the NESP-Target station a Target-Moderator-Reflector (TMR) -demonstrator of the proposed accelerator driven High Brilliance Neutron source (HBS) was set up with the Jülich Center of Neutron Science (JCNS). [...]

The cyclotron JULIC is used as injector for the COSY storage ring since almost 30 years. Beams of polarized and unpolarised H⁻ and D- ions are routinely accelerated using cyclotron HF system up to 45 and 55 MeV, respectively. [...]
