The I.FAST workshop on the Stability of Storage Ring Based Light Sources was hosted by IBPT in March 17-21, 2025 at KIT Campus North. The 2-days workshop was followed by a joint experimental campaign.

The goal of the workshop was to share the latest information and knowledge on beam dynamics in order to understand and improve beam stability and the relevant hardware to ensure stable beam operation.

The article describes a very fast code to speed-up machine learning simulations and applications in particle accelerator physics. The code was developed by two PhD students, Jan Kaiser and Chenran Xu from IBPT, who both contributed equally. Now also other international accelerator centers contribute to the code. The article was hand-picked as one out of ten in 2024 in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams (PRAB).
