Abstract Colorado State University (CSU) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) have been developing a control system to regulate the resonant frequency of an RF electron gun. As part of this effort, we present experimental results for a benchmark temperature controller that combines a machine learning-based model and a predictive control algorithm for improved settling time, overshoot, and disturbance rejection relative to conventional techniques. Such improvements have implications for machine up-time and management of reflected power. This work is part of an on-going effort to develop adaptive, machine learning-based tools specifically to address control challenges found in particle accelerator systems.
