The Machine Protection Software Team has been using a Continuous Delivery workflow for numerous years, covering shutdown and physics activities of the LHC. This continuous delivery workflow relies on numerous practices that are necessary to ensure the automated validation of the software products: unit tests, automated user acceptance tests, static code analysis, quality tracking, etc. This...
The development of IFMIF (International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility) to generate a 14 MeV source of neutrons with the spectrum of D-T fusion reactions is indispensable to qualify suitable materials for the First Wall of the nuclear vessel in future fusion power plants. As part of IFMIF validation activities, LIPAc (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator), currently under commissioning at...
ALBA is a third generation synchrotron light source near Barcelona (Spain). In operation for users since 2012, we aim at continuously improve the beam availability by increasing the mean time between failures and decreasing the time to recover the beam. . Here we present our experience with PANIC; an alarm handler that puts on alert the accelerator control room crew when a subsystem or a beam...
