Javier Cruz Miranda (Universidad de Granada)23/09/2025, 13:30MC02: Control System Upgrades in Existing FacilitiesContributed Oral Presentation
The increasing complexity and data demands of modern particle accelerator and large research facilities necessitate a paradigm shift towards unified, intelligent control system architectures. This paper proposes a study to enhance a particle accelerator control framework architecture in order to develop an AI-ready control system, drawing upon the strengths of both open-source and commercial...

Following the landmark achievement of fusion ignition in December 2022, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) has now repeated ignition multiple times, reaching record yields and fusion gains. To further advance fusion research into new experimental regimes, NIF is currently planning the Enhanced Yield Capability (EYC) upgrade, raising laser energy to 2.6 MJ by fully utilizing the laser...

For over 30 years, the AGOR cyclotron control system at UMCG PARTREC has relied on Vsystem. However, the limitations of Vsystem's aging technology stack hinder efforts to improve reliability. To address this, we have decided to migrate to EPICS. Given the limited IT resources at PARTREC, a cost-effective migration strategy is essential. Additionally, planned and unplanned accelerator downtime...

The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) has embarked on a major modernization effort through the LANSCE Modernization Project (LAMP), which has recently received approval for mission need. LAMP proposes a new 100 MeV front end to replace aging components, including the proton sources, Cockcroft-Walton generators, and 100MeV drift tube linac. This new design will integrate with the...
