Description
A comprehensive optics model of the ISOLDE low-energy transfer lines has been developed and validated to support improved beam delivery for experiments such as PUMA. The model, implemented in MAD-X and Xsuite, incorporates survey data, apertures, and CST-validated electrostatic quadrupole fields. Benchmarking through quadrupole scans, kick-response measurements, and tomographic reconstruction provided detailed characterisation of beam transport and emittance. Building on this framework, Bayesian analysis techniques are being explored to extract beam parameters more efficiently and improve model consistency with measurements. Together, these developments establish a predictive and data-driven foundation for optimising ISOLDE beam transport and ensuring reliable conditions for upcoming physics experiments.
