Description

Antimatter experiments are at the cutting edge of science. They are, however, very difficult to realise. The AVA project aims at enabling new antimatter experiments, probing the fundamental laws of nature.
The workshop will cover efficient diagnostics integration in an accelerator and how the readout from monitors can be linked to lattice design codes via online control systems.

The event will combine talks by research leaders, with opportunities for early stage researchers to present their work and panel discussions.

Abstract submission deadline: 8th September 2019

Registration deadline: 31st August 2019

Payment deadline: 5th September 2019

AVA has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 721559.

  Challenges in AD/ELENA operation
  
  We give an overview of the AD operation from the point of view of the interface between the AD experiments and the machine. Specific examples of difficulties to deliver good quality antiproton beam to the experiments are selected from 20 years of operation. The sources of difficulties are various, arising from physics, beam instrumentation, difficult to detect equipment failure, the control system and human factors. We present the changes and challenges in the beam delivery because of the ELENA machine, which will deliver beam to the experiments from 2021.

  Sustainable Accelerator System Integration and Control Room Operation
  
  Accelerator technology evolves, so do best practice and people. Thus, operation and its supporting control system should also follow continuous integration (CI) and improvement principles (e.g. 'poka yoke') in order to avoid gradual obsolescence and eventual unmaintainablility. This presentation will high-light some of the more practical technical aspects related to vertical and lateral control system integration of accelerator-equipment and machine-experiment interfaces from a early prototype-, through commissioning- up to nominal operation phases.
