During the APS Upgrade project's dark time, the original storage ring was replaced with a brand new, state-of-the-art ring, and the accelerator controls system. Although the APS injector controls system remained unchanged, its storage ring controls has been fully redesigned with significant modernization. Together with other technical systems, the controls system was successfully brought back...
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.

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...
