	Funding: This activity is supported by MITACS IT23740 The particle accelerator complex at TRIUMF provides beams for secondary particle production including rare isotopes. The post acceleration of rare isotope ions demands frequent changes of beam properties like energy and changes of the ion species in terms of isotope and charge state. To facilitate these changes to beam properties and species, a High Level Applications (HLA) framework has been developed that provides the essential elements necessary for app development: access to sophisticated envelope simulations and any necessary beamline data, integration with the control system, version control, deployment and issue tracking, and training materials. With this framework, one can automate collection of beam data and subsequently pull that data into a model which then outputs the necessary adjustments to beam optics. Tuning based on this method is model coupled accelerator tuning (MCAT) and includes pursuits like the training of machine learning (ML) agents to optimize corrections benders. A summary of the framework will be provided followed by a description of the different applications of the MCAT method - both those currently being pursued, and those envisioned for the future.

TUP19	First Tests of Model-Based Linac Phasing in ISAC-II	113
	S. Kiy, R.A. Baartman, O.K. Kester, O. Shelbaya TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada
	As the e-linac and ARIEL facilities at TRIUMF progress, the impending complexity of operating three simultaneous rare ion beams (RIBs) approaches. To help prepare for this, a framework for the development of High Level Applications has been constucted, upon which multiple avenues for improvement towards model-based and automated tuning are being pursued. Along one of these avenues, the 40-cavity superconducting ISAC-II heavy ion linac has been studied and modelled in the envelope code transoptr. This has allowed for real-time integration through the on-axis fields, fitting focal strengths of solenoids to achieve desired beam waists, and calculation of necessary cavity phases to achieve a desired output energy for given input beam parameters. Initial tests have been completed, successfully phasing up to 37 cavities using the transoptr model and achieving a final output energy within 1% of the expected while maintaining nominal (>90%) transmission. A summary of the calibration of the model to the machine is given, followed by results of the phasing tests and an outlook towards future improvements.
