New and noteworthy
A cordial welcome to the participants of the EPICS Collaboration Meeting June 2019 by the head of the ITER Science and Operations Department, Tim Luce.
Within the ITER project, 35 nations are collaborating to build the world's largest fusion facility in the South of France. Most contributions are in-kind - integration of more than 170 plant systems will be the main challenge when building the control system, which is using CODAC Core System, based on RedHat Enterprise Linux, EPICS and ITER specific tools.
The construction of the ESS is progressing. First experiences with the control system have been made with the first stage of the accelerator, cryogenics systems and one offsite neutron instrument using ESS ICS technology. This talk will summarize the status of the systems and plans for the coming years, in particular ESS plans for introducing and taking advantage of the new features in EPICS 7.
The Linear IFMIF prototype accelerator, LIPAc, aims at producing a powerful (9MeV, 1.1MW) deuteron beam at 125mA in CW, to validate the concept of the future IFMIF accelerator (40MeV, 125mA CW). The beam is accelerated through two main accelerating stages (RFQ and SRF Linac), plus two bunching cavities as part of the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT). In order the beam to be accelerated ...
An ultra-low emittance, 6-GeV high energy synchrotron radiation light source which contains a linac, a booster, a 1360-m circumference storage ring, and fifteen beamlines in phase one will be built in suburban Beijing. The number of devices and complexity level for the new machine is extremely large which requires a modern control system design for smooth operation. The preliminary control...
In a few years, at GANIL in Caen (France), light to super heavy exotic ion beams will be produced by the SPIRAL1 and SPIRAL2 facilities to be studied in the experimental hall DESIR: Fundamental researches on nuclear physics, weak interaction and astrophysics will be conducted.
The low energy Radioactive Ion Beams (RIB) with short half-lives will be transported, separated, cooled, bunched and...
The control system architecture for the SARAF project was based on VME according to CEA experience and a large part of the EPICS community. During the last year a significant evolution to MTCA was noticed and the very close collaboration with ESS provided us with the opportunity to upgrade the CEA EPICS environment into MTCA.4. The SARAF project is a good opportunity to implement both MTCA.4...
The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is the next ring-based light source to be built in China, with 6 GeV beam energy, and an emittance of tens of picometer rad, and about 1.3Km circumference, and 48 straight sections. In the phase I, 15 beamlines will be installed. This paper outlines the conceptual and the functional design for beamline control system of HEPS.
The SPIDER Acceleration Grid Power Supply (SP-AGPS) is a high voltage power supply of -96kV/75A, used for acceleration of beam in the NBTF facility, at Consortio RFX, Padova. Recently it was commissioned successfully, and is now operational on site. The central control system at NBTF is called CODAS, which is similar to CODAC. A LabVIEW based EPICS server was implemented as power supply...
