SuperKEKB is the upgrade of the KEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider, for the next generation B-factory experiment in Japan. It is designed to achieve a luminosity of 8x10³⁵/cm²/s, 40 times higher than the world highest luminosity record at KEKB. For SuperKEKB, we upgrade the accelerator control network system, which connects all devices in the accelerator. To construct the higher performance network system, we install the network switches based on the 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) for the wider bandwidth data transfer. Additional optical fibers, for the reliable and redundant network and for the robust accelerator control timing system, are also installed. For the KEKB beamline construction and accelerator components maintenance, we install the new wireless network system based on the Leaky Coaxial (LCX) cable antennas into the 3 km circumference beamline tunnel. We reconfigure the network design to enhance the reliability and security of the network. In this paper, the design and current status of the SuperKEKB accelerator control network system will be presented.

The screen monitor (SC) of the KEK linac is a beam diagnostics device to measure transverse beam profiles with a fluorescent screen. The screen material is made of 99.5% Al2O3 and 0.5% CrO3, with which a sufficient amount of fluorescent light can be obtained when electron and positron beams impinge on the screen. the fluorescent light with a camera embedded with a charge-coupled device (CCD), the transverse spatial profiles of the beam can be easily measured. Compact SCs were previously developed in 1995 for the KEKB project. About 110 compact SCs were installed into the beam line at that time. VME-based computer control system was also developed in order to perform fast and stable control of the SC system. However, the previous system becomes obsolete and hard to maintain. Recently, a new screen monitor control system for the KEK electron/positron injector linac has been developed and fully installed. The new system is an embedded EPICS IOC based on the Linux/PLC. In this paper, we present the new screen monitor control system in detail.

The non-destructive beam position monitor (BPM) is indispensable diagnostic tool for the stable beam operation. In the KEK Linac, approximately nineteen BPMs with the strip-line type electrodes are used for the beam orbit measurement and feedback. In addition, some of them are also used for the beam energy feedback loops. The current data acquisition (DAQ) system consists of the fast digital oscilloscopes. A signal from each electrode is analyzed with a predetermined response function up to 50 Hz. In the present DAQ system, the measurement precision of beam position is limited to around 0.5 mm because of ADC resolution. Towards SuperKEKB project, we have a plan to upgrade the BPM DAQ system since the Linac should provide the smaller emittance beam in comparison with previous KEKB Linac. We will report the system description of the new DAQ system and the results of performance test in detail.

SuperKEKB electron/positron asymmetric collider is under construction in order to elucidate new physics beyond the standard model of elementary particle physics. This will be only possible by a precise measurement with 40-times higher luminosity compared with that of KEKB. The injector linac should be upgraded to enable a 20-times smaller beam size of 50 nm at the collision point and twice-larger stored beam current with short lifetime of 10 minutes. At the same time two light source rings, PF and PF-AR, should be filled in top-up injection mode. To this end the linac should be operated with precise beam controls. Dual-layer controls with EPICS and MRF event systems are being enhanced to support precise pulse-to-pulse beam modulation (PPM) at 50Hz. A virtual accelerator (VA) concept is introduced to enable a single linac behaving as four VAs switched by PPM, where each VA corresponds to one of four top-up injections into storage rings. Each VA should be accompanied with independent beam orbit and energy feedback loops to maintain the required beam qualities. The requirements from SuperKEKB HER and LER for beam emittance, energy-spread, and charge are especially challenging.
