  The ion beams produced in a particle accelerator have to be characterized and monitored using parameters specific to the instruments involved and information from practical (hands-on) operation of those instruments and of the accelerator as a whole. The control is critical considering the multitude of equipment and tasks involved. It is a nonlinear, non-standard process difficult to model. This paper will presents the progress that is currently being made in the attempt to implement fuzzy logic theory in controlling parts of the 1.7 MV Tandem particle accelerator at the Michigan Ion Beam Laboratory.
