BOOSTR (Booster Operation Optimization Sequential Time-Series for Reinforcement) was created to provide cycle-by-cycle time series of readings and settings from instruments and controllable devices of the Booster, Fermilab's Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) operating at 15 Hz. BOOSTR provides a time series from 55 device readings and settings which pertain most directly to the high-precision regulation of the Booster's Gradient Magnet Power Supply (GMPS). To our knowledge, this is the first known dataset of accelerator device parameters made publicly available. We are releasing it in the hopes that it can be used to demonstrate aspects of artificial intelligence for advanced control systems, such as reinforcement learning and autonomous anomaly detection.
