Description

The PETRA IV project at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) aims to upgrade the PETRA III synchrotron into an ultra-low-emittance light source. Both electron and photon beams can cause damage to accelerator components. The Machine Protection System (MPS) is a critical element of the accelerator’s safety infrastructure, designed to prevent beam-induced damage. It aggregates information from multiple subsystems and intervenes to inhibit beam operation in the event of unsafe or ambiguous machine states.
This contribution presents an overview of the MPS implemented at PETRA III, including long-term operational experience, and discusses further developments and technologies envisaged to meet the demanding requirements of PETRA IV. Additionally, a comparative overview of machine protection systems at other 6 GeV-class light sources is provided.
