Future improvements in particle accelerator performance is predicated on increasingly accurate online modeling of accelerators. Hysteresis effects in magnetic, mechanical, and material components of accelerators are often neglected in online accelerator models used to inform control algorithms, even though reproducibility errors from systems exhibiting hysteresis are not negligible in high precision accelerators. In this work, we combine the classical Preisach model of hysteresis with machine learning techniques to efficiently create non-parametric, high-fidelity models of arbitrary systems exhibiting hysteresis. We demonstrate that our technique accurately predicts hysteresis effects in physical accelerator magnets. We also experimentally demonstrate how these methods can be used in-situ, where the hysteresis model is combined with a Bayesian statistical model of the beam response, allowing characterization of hysteresis in accelerator magnets solely from measurements of the beam. Furthermore, we explore how using these joint hysteresis-beam models allows us to overcome optimization performance limitations when hysteresis effects are ignored.
