	A synthesis of the “!CHAOS: a cloud of controls” project and its application to accelerators and large experiments will be presented. We will describe here how the !CHAOS project has evolved from a candidate for the SuperB accelerator control system to a facility for IT distributed infrastructures. !CHAOS is currently, not only suitable for accelerators and large High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments, but is also applicable to other contexts, such as social and industrial applications. Preliminary results achieved on an accelerator use case are discussed.

MOPTY055	Beam Loss Monitoring for Run 2 of the LHC	monitoring, injection, detector, beam-losses	1057
	M.K. Kalliokoski, B. Auchmann, B. Dehning, F.S. Domingues Sousa, E. Effinger, J. Emery, V. Grishin, E.B. Holzer, S. Jackson, B. Kolad, E. Nebot Del Busto, O. Picha, C. Roderick, M. Sapinski, M. Sobieszek, C. Zamantzas CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The Beam Loss Monitoring (BLM) system of the LHC consists of over 3600 ionization chambers. The main task of the system is to prevent the superconducting magnets from quenching and protect the machine components from damage, as a result of critical beam losses. The BLM system therefore requests a beam abort when the measured dose in the chambers exceeds a threshold value. During Long Shutdown 1 (LS1) a series of modifications were made to the system. Based on the experience from Run 1 and from improved simulation models, all the threshold settings were revised, and modified where required. This was done to improve the machine safety at 7 TeV, and to reduce beam abort requests when neither a magnet quench or damage to machine components is expected. In addition to the updates of the threshold values, about 800 monitors were relocated. This improves the response to unforeseen beam losses in the millisecond time scale due to micron size dust particles present in the vacuum chamber. This contribution will discuss all the changes made to the BLM system, with the reasoning behind them.

MOPWI015	A Low Time-Dispersion Refractive Optical Transmission Line for Streak Camera Measurements	electron, experiment, resonance, plasma	1178
	J.G. Power, G. Ha ANL, Argonne, Illinois, USA G. Ha POSTECH, Pohang, Kyungbuk, Republic of Korea
	Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy office of High Energy Physics. Streak camera measurements of the charge particle bunch length are limited in resolution due to several factors: (1) the light from the source (optical transition radiation, Cherenkov, synchrotron radiation, etc.); (2) time dispersion introduced in the optical transmission line between the source and the streak camera; and finally (3) the streak camera resolution. The limiting resolution usually arises from the optical transmission line. While an all-reflective transmission line can eliminate dispersion, the system is complicated and expensive. In this paper, we consider how to design a refractive optical transport line to minimize the time dispersion while maximizing the signal. We present a theoretical model of the dispersion, modeling, and measurements of the time dispersion for several different lens materials.

	Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661, the State of Michigan and Michigan State University. A platform for accelerator online beam simulation has been established for Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). This modeling platform supports multiple simulation codes for different sections of the complex machine which cannot be properly modeled with a single online simulation tool. Model data for the platform is stored in a relational database which is designed to accommodate most simulation data. The stored data is accessible with physics intuitive data API (Application Programming Interface). Presently, the platform is supporting Open XAL, MAD-X and IMPACT simulation codes. In addition to the model data storage and access, tools such as data comparison and simple graphing capability are also included in the platform.

	Nitrogen doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (nUNCD) grown on the surface of a CVD single crystal diamond is tested at various beamlines covering an x-ray photon energy range of 200eV to 28 keV. The nUNCD has much lower x-ray absorption than metal contacts and is designed to improve the performance of our device. The responsivity of nUNCD diamond x-ray detector is compared with the conventional platinum coated diamond x-ray beam position monitor and the results are presented in this paper.

BPM data, recording the injection oscillations of the operational beams during the ring-filling phase, have been analysed in detail to enable extracting useful information about the tune shift vs. injected beam intensity. The data processing and the results are discussed in detail, including also possible implications for future operation.
