MC03: Control System Sustainment and Management
Contributed Oral Presentation

As the works at FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) progress deeper into the installation and near the commissioning phase, FAIR control system gets closer to its final shape. With many software parts for the accelerator controls completed, valuable experience has been gained from the encountered managerial challenges.
In this paper, we present the best practices and lessons...

Contributed Oral Presentation

Particle accelerator facilities support a wide array of applications and vary greatly in type, purpose, size, construction cost, and both the sources and levels of operational funding. While the lifespan of each accelerator is shaped by a range of technical and organizational factors, many continue to operate well beyond their originally projected lifetimes. Sustaining long-term operations...
