Abstract: Navigating the landscape of particle accelerators has become increasingly challenging with recent surges in contributions. These intricate devices challenge comprehension, even within individual facilities.To address this, we introduce PACuna, a fine-tuned language model refined through publicly available accelerator resources like conferences, pre-prints, and books.We automated data collection and question generation to minimize expert involvement and make the code available.PACuna demonstrates proficiency in addressing accelerator questions validated by experts.Our approach shows adapting language models to scientific domains by fine-tuning technical texts and auto-generated corpora capturing the latest developments can further produce pre-trained models to answer some specific questions that commercially available assistants cannot and can serve as intelligent assistants for individual facilities.
