Description

The SYLA fourth-generation synchrotron radiation source is currently being developed at the National Research Centre “Kurchatov Institute”. Within this project, NRNU MEPhI is responsible for the design of the electron injector linac. The Prototype Accelerating Structure (PAS), which is now under construction at MEPhI, is intended to validate technical solutions for the full-scale 6 GeV injector of the SYLA facility. The PAS includes a photocathode electron gun and the first regular accelerating section, which accelerates the beam to approximately 50 MeV. This paper presents the automation, control, and diagnostics system being developed for the PAS. The system provides control of the main accelerator subsystems, equipment synchronization, data acquisition, processing, and storage. To verify that the beam parameters meet the requirements of the full-scale SYLA injector, the PAS is equipped with three diagnostic chambers for measuring the transverse beam size, beam position, and charge. Dedicated electronic modules are being developed for diagnostic signal readout, data acquisition, preliminary processing, and integration of the diagnostic devices into the accelerator control system.
