Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS) are increasingly used as ion source for different types of accelerator because of their high current densities for highly charged ions. To investigate the ion beam quality, normally delivered to the RFQ of the high charge state injector at GSI, we had the chance to install a viewing target close to the position of ion beam injection into the RFQ. The profile visible on the viewing target could be recorded through a regular glass window by a simple camera outside the vacuum. The RFQ itself has been removed for these measurements. We have found a highly structured ion beam distribution at that position. These structures, already caused by the hexapolar field within the ion source have already been observed directly behind the extraction. They are transported through the beam line without becoming homogeneous, which indicates a high degree of space charge compensation for that cw-beam. If the full beam line is mastered by the dipole, all charge states show similar ion beam distribution on the target for a given extraction voltage. This is also a hint, that the structures have been produced within the source already.

Building an accelerator facility brings together civil construction and mechanical engineering, two trades with very different working cultures, practices and tool sets: While construction sites are traditionally paper-based and 2D oriented, the accelerator and its infrastructure are completely modeled in 3D. At the European XFEL, methods and tools known from plant construction were introduced to civil construction to enable efficient collaboration of all trades. Integrated 3D models encompass design models of all technical subsystems. An electronic "XFEL room book" captures requirements and manages assignments of space, infrastructure and equipments in the buildings. The DESY Engineering Data Management System (EDMS) manages and links the information with additional documentation. Electronic workflows coordinate e.g. reviews and change management. 3D models, room book and documentation databases together constitute the so-called "Building Information Model" (BIM). The BIM addresses the entire building lifecycle and is a basis for later facility operation. The poster describes information management procedures, tools and experience in the civil construction of the European XFEL.

The operation of the LHC imposes minimum maintenance time, when needed corrections to all systems are to be carried out. Today's maintenance management tools at CERN are seen as too slow and cumbersome for such a challenge. The short duration of the technical stops (72 h/month) requires preparation of jobs in advance, and coordination of all involved teams; at the same time, the radio-protection of personnel in the LHC underground areas imposes a strict "As Low As Reasonably Achievable"(ALARA) policy for the works' duration. In order to perform a maximum of tasks in a short time, a mobile tool for the manipulation of job and equipment data has been created. The ability to signal a new job to a team in the field will avoid unnecessary trips to the tunnel; the signaling of a job's completion (and its details) will allow subsequent jobs to start promptly and with more information; finally, the possibility to consult equipment's full manufacturing and installation data "in situ" will help with the investigation of unforeseen situations. In a 27 km environment with scarce Wi-Fi connectivity, an online light tool is now available, covering the essentials of asset maintenance tasks.

The design of the utility system for the 3.0 GeV Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) has been finished and the construction engineering has been contracted out in the end of 2009. This paper presents the TPS utility system, including the electrical power, cooling water and air conditioning system, which were designed to meet requirements of high reliability and stability. The TPS construction site is located adjacent to TLS. Even some areas of TPS and TLS are overlapped. The whole utility system construction will be finished in the end of 2012. Therefore, the construction engineering of the TPS utility system is a challenge to finish on a tight schedule and keep the TLS in operation during the construction. Some management schemes of the construction engineering are also presented in this paper.

The stability of air temperature in the storage ring tunnel is one of the most critical factors. Therefore, a series of air conditioning system upgrade studies and projects have been conducted at the Taiwan Light Source (TLS). The global air temperature variation related to time in the storage ring tunnel has been controlled within ±0.1 degree C for years. This study is aimed at more precise temperature control. Some temperature control schemes are applied on this study. We also performed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the flow field and the spatial temperature distribution in the storage ring tunnel.

Previously, the Taiwan Light Source (TLS) has proven that the temperature stability of de-ionized cooling water is one of the most critical factors of electron beam stability. A series of efforts were devoted to these studies and promoted the temperature stability of the de-ionized cooling water system within ±0.1°C. Further, a high precision temperature control ±0.01°C has been conducted to meet the more critical stability requirement. Using flow mixing mechanism and specified control philosophy can minimize temperature variation effectively. The paper declares the mechanism through simulation and verifies the practical influences. The significant improvement of temperature stability between cooling devices and de-ionized water are also presented.

The electric power system of Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) will be installed during the construction of TPS. Many power electronic devices which produce large nonlinear loads will be used in the new power system and the accelerator facility. The capacitor banks will also be used for the power factor correction. Thus, the excessive harmonic waveform distortion level on the normal waveform will be presented continuously. These excessive harmonic current flows will result in transformer and cable over-heating and many types of circuit faults, and also wasting energy. A project is initiated to study these harmonic effects which will appear in the electric power system of TPS. A computer simulation approach is used to study the harmonic waveform distortion phenomena, and also to investigate an effective approach to reduce it. The harmonic effects of selected section of TLS (Taiwan Light Source) electric power system, and those appear at the mock segment of 1/24 accelerator of TPS system are measured and compared with the simulated results.
