"Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization of Accelerator Components"
Herbert De Gersem, K.U. Leuven
joint work with Thomas Hemker, Oskar von Stryk and Thomas Weiland (T.U. Darmstadt)

The numerical optimization of accelerator components with respect to continuous parameters and in combination with electromagnetic field simulation is standard. When integer-valued parameters are involved, the optimization procedure becomes prohibitively expensive. In the talk, we describe a sequential surrogate optimization scheme and apply the method for the optimization of the coil blocks of a superconductive magnet, recently designed for the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research.

Newsflash

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
