The APS Upgrade replaced the original storage ring with a fourth-generation multi-bend achromat lattice and modernized its accelerator controls while retaining the injector systems. The upgraded controls integrate a high-speed network, enhanced timing and event distribution, advanced beam diagnostics, and time-correlated data acquisition within the EPICS framework. These improvements enabled a...
Diamond light source is a 3rd-generation synchrotron light source that has been operating since 2007. The existing accelerator control system is based on EPICS V3, and a mixture of VME hardware, PCs and embedded devices. An upgrade of Diamond to Diamond-II is now in the construction phase with installation set to begin in January 2028, followed by storage ring commissioning in Oct 2028. A...
The CSNS-II project, launched on 1st January 2024, aims to significantly enhance the beam power from 100 kW to 500 kW. The current accelerator control system, commissioned in 2018, was designed based on hardware and software platforms finalized in 2012. Over time, these systems have begun to exhibit obsolescence issues. To meet the advanced requirements of CSNS-II, a comprehensive upgrade and...
After successfully reaching the key milestones of the SLS 2.0 machine upgrade, focus and prioritization have shifted to the beamline upgrades. These have been structured into three distinct phases. In the "pre-dark time" Phase 0, core technical solutions and controls hardware portfolio were validated on selected beamlines. We are currently finalizing the upgrades for Phase 1 beamlines, while...
The Fermilab Accelerator Complex is the largest national user facility in the Office of High Energy Physics (DOE/HEP) program and the only national user facility operating at Fermilab. Fermilab serves as the host to the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility/Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (LBNF/DUNE), the laboratory’s flagship project for neutrino science that is under construction. LBNF/DUNE...
