MC07: Data Acquisition and Processing Platforms

Invited Oral Presentation

Transverse beam profile monitoring in high-radiation areas is challenging due to camera degradation. A proposed solution employs a multimode fiber (MMF) to relay optical signals from the radiation zone to a shielded area, where a standard CMOS camera can operate safely. However, MMF transmission introduces significant distortions, producing complex speckle patterns at the output. This...

MC07: Data Acquisition and Processing Platforms

Invited Oral Presentation

Neural networks (NNs) are commonly implemented on CPU or GPU, which often struggle to meet the strict latency and throughput demands of real-time data processing.
FPGAs offer an alternative: deterministic, low-latency inference directly in the data path.
We present the opportunities FPGA-based NNs offer, how to implement NNs on FPGAs, and how to identify possible use cases.

As our case...

MC07: Data Acquisition and Processing Platforms

Contributed Oral Presentation

The Beam Gas Ionization (BGI) transverse beam profile monitor is a critical diagnostic instrument for the CERN PS and SPS, essential for achieving optimal beam quality and operational efficiency of the accelerator complex. To address new requirements in throughput, reliability, and long-term maintainability, its hybrid pixel detector readout system has been redesigned from the ground up. Based...

MC07: Data Acquisition and Processing Platforms

Contributed Oral Presentation

The Phase-II upgrade of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS-II) introduces a superconducting linear section, which imposes stringent machine protection requirements by necessitating a total system response time of less than 10 μs. This paper presents a high-throughput, ultra-low-latency data acquisition and processing platform specifically engineered for real-time beam status monitoring...
