Classifier-pruned Bayesian optimization for particle accelerator tuning: Exploring temporally structured manifold of 6D beam phase space

Complex dynamical systems, such as particle accelerators, require tuning over high-dimensional, nonlinear state and parameter spaces while experimental measurements and high-fidelity simulations can be expensive. Learned latent representations provide a compact domain for such optimization, but poorly supported regions of the learned manifold may decode into unrealistic physical states and yield deceptively favorable objectives. To address this challenge, we propose the Classifier-pruned Bayesian Optimization-based Latent-space Tuner (CBOL-Tuner), which performs Bayesian optimization over a temporally structured latent representation of 6D beam phase-space dynamics. The CBOL-Tuner integrates a conditional variational autoencoder for latent space representation, a long short-term memory network for temporal dynamics, a lightweight neural network for parameter estimation, and a classifier-pruned Bayesian optimizer to adaptively search and filter the latent space for optimal solutions. This framework enables feasibility-aware exploration of learned scientific representations for accelerator tuning.
