3rd Python Accelerator Middle Layer (pyAML) workshop

Feb 2, 2026, 11:00 AM → Feb 4, 2026, 4:00 PM Europe/Paris

Principal/0-0 - Salle Amphitheatre (Batiment Principal)

Laurent NADOLSKI (SOLEIL), Patrick MADELA (SOLEIL), Vadim GUBAIDULIN (SOLEIL)

Join us for the 3^rd Accelerator Middle Layer Workshop!

 

Python Accelerator Middle Layer (pyAML) is a joint technology platform for design, commissioning and operation of particle accelerators.

It is developed, benchmarked and maintained collaboratively by an open-source community driven by accelerator facilities around the world.

Link for remote participation: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34634189195979?p=48dqH3VFTb3jlCsut6

Past Workshops

• 2nd Accelerator Middle Layer Workshop - 12-14 February 2025 - Berlin, Germany

• Accelerator Middle Layer Workshop - 19-21 June February 2024 - Hamburg, Germany

 

The core component of this pyAML workshop edition will be a hackathon --- collaborative development of pyAML use cases (such as beam-based alignment (BBA), etc.) in small working groups.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the Synchrotron SOLEIL, near Paris, France!

• Proposal/strategy of merging the two developments
• GitHub discussion or issue describing the proposal
• A list of functionalities to be merged

1:40 PM Working group 3

Description

One potential future development path for pyAML is to build a software ecosystem. The idea is that instead of having a single package having a set of compatible packages where facilities can choose which ones they want to use or even develop their own package to add to the ecosystem. The working group should brainstorm how such an ecosystem could look like and come up with a suggestion for the next steps in case the collaboration decides to go in this direction.

Composition

Input

• How other research communities have structured their ecosystems
• The existing packages in the pyAML GitHub organisation
• Experience of what might be facility, control system, accelerator type etc specific where different facilities want/need different implementations or functionality

Objectives and deliverables

• A figure showing the different parts in the ecosystem and how they are connected.

• A suggestion for how the existing packages can be restructured to facilitate the ecosystem development. What needs to be in a common core, what needs to be more modular, what can be separated out into separate repositories etc.

• Initial description of the interfaces between packages and an example showing how that can be implemented.

1:40 PM Working group 4

Description
The primary objective of the working group is to establish a pyAML standard for performing measurements. In general, there are two ways to do measurements: simple measurement scripts and a more generic way for standard measurements. The generic way can allow for the reuse of existing code snippets in a transparent way and orchestrate a complex measurement. Both ways exist in the PAMILA toy project of Y.Hidaka, including OPTIONAL compatibility with BlueSky. The working group can brainstorm how to adapt this solution or come up with a different one.

Wed, February 4

9:00 AM → 12:00 PM Discussion and feedback

A session dedicated to feedback from the hackathon and discussion of the pyAML project objectives.

Convener: Vadim GUBAIDULIN (SOLEIL)

9:00 AM Feedback from the hackathon

Discussion, feedback and showcase on the prototype features and architecture based on the working groups' results. Each group will present what they have been working on, what issues they have encountered and what they want to see improved.

Each working group will have time to provide feedback on the pyAML prototype and present the topical proposal they were working on during the afternoon sessions of the Hackathon. For all discussed topics a GitHub discussion should be created by the group, so that the discussion can continue online, after the workshop and with a wider pyAML community involved.

10:30 AM pyAML project objectives 2026-2027

Broader discussion on the priorities and next objectives for the next years of pyAML collaboration. The aim is to discuss medium (6-12 months) and long-term goals (12-24 months) of pyAML. The outcome/minutes of this discussion will be used as input for the steering committee to define a roadmap for the project. Feedback on the work organisation should be given in this session. Possible points to discuss:

• Missing features/functionality
• Organisation of tests at different facilities
• Degree of integration with other existing tools (pySC, ophyd, etc.)
• Feedbacks (slow).
• Graphical user interfaces. Is this in the scope of pyAML or each facility could write a GUI in their prefered way that runs pyAML under the hood?
• Digital twin What kind of digital twin / virtual accelerator is in the scope of pyAML? We need something to run CI/CD pipelines with and something to assist in the manual testing during the development. Is HZB solution available and generic enough?
• Ecosystem development The idea is to develop the code in a modular way, separate in different repositories etc to allow labs to pick-and-choose what they want to use and be able to integrate with potential lab-specific tools and ways to do things without those things having to go into pyAML affecting all other labs. This is an idea used by other communities and an approach I think could solve many of our issues as well as allowing labs to gradually migrate from their existing tools to pyAML
  Other aspects:
• Feedback (human) on the development process so far, interactions, meeting organisation, GitHub projects, etc.
• Resources committed to the project
• Promotion of the project in the wider accelerator community
• Next workshop edition (what? where? when?)
• Renew/confirmation of steering committee (June 2026-June 2027)
• Maintainer list and coordinator roles

12:00 PM → 12:15 PM Welcome and registration: Closing remarks

Convener: Dr Laurent NADOLSKI (SOLEIL)

12:15 PM → 3:05 PM Steering committee meeting: in-person meeting
