Abstract
The superconductive quarter wave cavities hadron linac ALPI
is the final acceleration stage at the Legnaro National
Laboratories. It can accelerate heavy ions from carbon to uranium up
to 10 MeV/u for nuclear and applied physics experiments. It is also
planned to use it for re-acceleration of the radioactive ion beams
for the SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project. In
this article, we will present the innovative results obtained with
swarm intelligence algorithms, in simulations and measurements. In
particular, the increment of the longitudinal acceptance for RIB
(Radioactive Ion Beams) acceleration, and beam orbit correction
without the beam first-order measurements will be discussed.
