MC02: Control System Upgrades in Existing Facilities
Poster Presentation with Mini Oral

LANSCE delivers macropulses of beam, hundreds of microseconds in duration and at a nominal repetition rate of 120 Hz, to five experiment areas. These macropulses are distributed to four H⁻ areas and one H⁺ area. Each of the H⁻ experiment areas require a unique beam time structure within the macropulse. This time structure is imposed on the beam by a traveling wave chopper located in the H- Low...

Poster Presentation with Mini Oral

This presentation will describe recent hardware & software updates to the Accelerator Process Water System of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The topics covered include replacing outdated PLC hardware, updating EPICS software (deploying a python application called ‘plcepics’ to build EPICS databases), and an overview of problems encountered during commissioning of...

The proton irradiation facility (IRRAD) at the CERN East Area was built in 2014 during the Long Shutdown 1 (LS1), and later improved during the LS2 (2019), to address the needs of the HL-LHC accelerator and detector upgrade projects. IRRAD, together with the CHARM facility on the same beamline, exploits the 24GeV/c proton beam of the Proton Synchrotron (PS) providing an essential service at...

SPring-8, a third-generation light source, has operated for nearly three decades. Recently, light source accelerators have transitioned towards fourth-generation light sources, which implement low-emittance storage rings. Therefore, SPring-8 will upgrade its storage ring to a new one named SPring-8-II between 2027 and 2028. The upgrade involves implementing new Insertion Devices (IDs),...

Under the Broader Approach agreement between Japan and Europe, the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) aims the validation of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) accelerator design, to produce a deuteron beam of 125 mA at 9 MeV in continuous wave. In parallel to the installation of a superconductive linear acceleration stage, a high-power test bench was set...

As an imaging system supporting beam diagnostics using screen monitors (SCMs) at the SPring-8 site, we have continuously developed and improved a GigE Vision camera control system and expanded its adoption. By adopting the versatile open-source library Aravis, we eliminated vendor dependency and built an image acquisition system integrated into the SPring-8 control framework*, MADOCA 4.0. Key...

The ISIS Neutron and Muon Facility accelerators are migrating to an EPICS control system. The tools developed to run two control systems in parallel and to automate the migration of hardware and user interfaces to EPICS have been previously presented. We now detail our emerging EPICS setup. Hardware interfaces are implemented as a mixture of conventional EPICS IOCs, in-house developed...

The National Synchrotron Radiation Centre SOLARIS*, a 3rd Generation Synchrotron Light Source, stands as the most advanced research infrastructure in Poland. Since its commencement of operation in 2015, SOLARIS has undergone significant expansions. Initially, system upgrades were straightforward to implement. However, as the facility matured, new beamlines were created, and the number of...

Poster Presentation with Mini Oral

We face a number of challenges in planning future controls and computing for large accelerator facilities. Online tuning increasingly requires 6-d phase space customization, fast numerical estimation methods, and space-charge modeling in timescales relevant to operations. The needs are being met by advances in machine learning, artificial intelligence and the proximity of multi-particle...

Poster Presentation with Mini Oral

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will succeed the current Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. For over two decades, RHIC and its injectors have relied on a homegrown Accelerator Device Object (ADO)-based control system, which has provided a reliable and efficient operational framework. However, the EIC’s requirements—such as a greater number of subsystems,...

To take advantage of the world's most powerful X-ray beam delivered by the LCLS-II project, the former Atomic, Molecular & Optical Science (AMO) instrument at the SLAC Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) user facility has been upgraded to the Time-resolved AMO (TMO) instrument by the L2SI project. The new Dynamic Reaction Microscope (DREAM) endstation, also covered by the L2SI project and...

Poster Presentation with Mini Oral

As data volumes at European XFEL continue to grow rapidly, the need for sustainable storage, access, and preservation has become increasingly critical. In response, and despite operating within an established data management environment, the facility has introduced a new scientific data policy to address rising demands and align with evolving international best practices. The policy emphasizes...

Universal LIMS is a new set of web services being developed at Diamond, as part of the Diamond-II upgrade. It will provide users and beamline scientists with tools to manage the logistics and scientific metadata for their experiments. For scientific samples it will allow users to ship them to Diamond, track where they are within the experiment hall, and store data about them. Universal LIMS...

In order to ensure safe operations, CERN leverages an extensive SCADA system to monitor radiation levels and collect environmental measurements across its premises. The Health & Safety and Environmental Protection (HSE) Unit addressed the challenge of visualizing radiation fields from non-uniformly distributed sensors across large areas. This paper presents the approach and implementation of a...

Poster Presentation with Mini Oral

The 5 MW proton linear accelerator of the European Spallation Source ERIC is designed to accelerate the beam at a repetition rate of 14 Hz, which dictates the refresh rate of most of the relevant data produced by acquisition systems. Each cycle of the 14 Hz timing structure receives a unique cycle ID from the ESS Timing System, which can be used as an index when data is collected and stored....
