Publication Abstract: The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Laboratory is a CW recirculating linear accelerator (linac) that utilizes over 400 superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities to accelerate electrons up to 12 GeV through 5-passes. Recent work has shown that given RF signals from a cavity during a fault as input, machine learning approaches can accurately classify the fault type. In this paper, we report initial results of predicting a fault onset using only data prior to the failure event. A dataset was constructed using time-series data immediately before a fault (?unstable?) and 1.5 seconds prior to a fault (?stable?) gathered from over 5,000 saved fault events. The data was used to train a binary classifier. The results gave key insights into the behavior of several fault types and provided motivation to investigate whether data prior to a failure event could also predict the type of fault. We discuss our method using a sliding window approach. Based on encouraging initial results, we outline a path forward to leverage deep learning on streaming data for fault type prediction.
