| Abstract |
The r-process fission cycle terminates the natural synthesis of heavy elements in binary neutron-star mergers. Fission processes of transuranium nuclides will be studied in electrofission reactions at the S-DALINAC*. Due to the minuscule fissile target, the experimental setup requires an active electron-beam-stabilization system with high accuracy and a beam position resolution in the submillimeter range. In this contribution, requirements and concepts of this system regarding beam-diagnostic elements, feedback control and readout electronics are presented. The usage of a beam position monitor cavity and optical transition radiation targets to monitor the required beam parameters will be discussed in detail. Additionally, various measurements performed at the S-DALINAC to assess requirements and limits for the beam-stabilization system will be presented. Finally, the option of using advanced machine learning methods such as neural networks and agent-based reinforcement learning will be discussed.
