Description
Starting in 2027, the Super-FRS will produce and separate rare isotopes for nuclear physics experiments at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). To reach isotopes further toward the nuclear drip line, the separator uses heavy-ion beams of higher energy (>1.5 GeV/u) and intensity (>3*10^11 238U/s) compared to previous facilities. These primary beams, as well as the secondary fragment beams produced in reaction targets, can damage detectors along the beamline and may cause quenches in the superconducting magnets. To prevent such scenarios, it is essential to ensure that all beams are correctly separated and stopped in dedicated beam dumps. For this purpose, a machine protection system is being developed to verify every new machine setting required during diverse experimental campaigns. To avoid slowing down machine operation, the system simulates, in near real time, all (fragment) beams for different magnet settings, targets, degraders, and detectors throughout the entire separator. The planned capabilities of this machine protection system and the currently achieved prototype are presented.
