The benefits of diverse work groups have been well documented, and our leaders speak of the need for our laboratories to become more diverse and inclusive. Despite these motivators, the field of accelerator controls remains strikingly homogeneous. This trend continues despite many long standing programs to attract underrepresented groups to STEM careers and the explicit desire of leadership to create more inclusive organizations. Research consistently points to the strong role implicit bias plays in preventing organizations from truly providing equal opportunities. The desire to become more diverse must be coupled with a strong culture, cultivated to change deeply rooted practices which influence recruiting, hiring, development, and promotion decisions based on stereotypes rather than accomplishments and abilities. Real change in this arena requires intentional action across the board, not just from human resources and underrepresented groups. This paper discusses practical approaches to changing organizational culture to enable diverse work groups to grow and thrive.

  Compact Electronic Logbook System (Clog) is designed to record the events in an organized way during operation and maintenance of an accelerator facility. Clog supports functionalities such as log submission, attachment upload, easy to retrieve logged messages, RESTful API and so on, which aims to be compact enough for anyone to conveniently deploy it and anyone familiar with Java EE (Enterprise Edition) technology can easily customize the functionalities. After the development is completed, Clog can be used in accelerator facilities such as BEPC-II (Beijing Electron/Positron Collider Upgrade) and HEPS (High Energy Photon Source). This paper presents the design, implementation and development status of Clog.

  A common need in large scientific experiments is the ability to monitor by means of simultaneous data acquisition across the whole installation. Data is acquired as a result of triggers which may either come from external sources, or from internal triggering of one of the acquisition nodes. However, a problem arises from the fact that once the trigger is generated, it will not arrive to the receiving nodes simultaneously, due to varying distances and environmental conditions. The Distributed Oscilloscope (DO) concept attempts to address this problem by leveraging the sub-nanosecond synchronization and deterministic data delivery provided by White Rabbit (WR) and augmenting it with automatic discovery of acquisition nodes and complex trigger event scheduling, in order to provide the illusion of a virtual oscilloscope. This paper presents the current state of the DO, including work done on the FPGA and software level to enhance existing acquisition hardware, as well as a new protocol based on existing industrial standards. It also includes test results obtained from a demonstrator based on two digitizers separated by a 10 km optical fiber, used as a showcase of the DO concept.

As the National Ignition Facility (NIF) enters its second decade of full-scale operations, the demands on all aspects of the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure are becoming more varied, complex, and critical. Cybersecurity is an increasing focus area for the NIF IT team with the goal of securing the data center whilst providing the flexibility for developers to continue to access the sensitive areas of the controls system and the production tools. This must be done whilst supporting the interoperability of controls system elements executing on legacy bare metal hardware in an increasingly homogenized virtual environment in addition to responding to the user’s requests for ever-increasing storage needs and the introduction of cloud services. While addressing these evolutionary changes, the impact to continuous 24/7 Shot Operations must also be minimized. The challenges, strategies and implementation approaches being undertaken by the NIF IT team at the NIF to address the issues of infrastructure modernization will be presented.
