  We upgraded the Injection Archiver System of the SuperKEKB collider. It records the information related with the beam injection. The system is configured on the EPICS network. The database server employs Archiver Appliance as the database management system. In addition, the distributed shared memory is installed on the database server. Its memory area is synchronized with other nodes such as bunch current monitor via the optical connection. Therefore the database server can collect the data like bunch current at the RF-bucket which the beam pulse is injected. By using this dedicated optical network, we succeed the high-speed and stable data acquisition. The injection data can be recorded, pulse-by-pulse, in 50 Hz without any packet loss.

MOPHA145 Evolution of the CERN LINAC 4 Intensity Interlock System Using a Generic, Real-Time Comparator in C++ linac, software, MMI, hardware 570

  During the commissioning phase of LINAC 4, three watchdog interlock systems were used to protect the accelerator and its equipment. These systems cut the beam if losses, calculated by combining the intensity measurements at various locations, exceed some predefined thresholds. While the existing systems were designed to be simple and robust to ensure safety, the future connection of the linac to the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) requires new instances of these systems with additional requirements. Such requirements include the remote communication of the watchdogs with the intensity measurement systems to decouple any physical dependency between the two systems, and the arithmetical/logical combination of the measured data based on the watchdog location. As the Controls Interlocks Beam User (CIBU) hardware interface to the Beam Interlock Controller (BIC) is simple, the software part of the system can be re-designed to be application agnostic giving a single decision after performing a configurable set of comparisons. This paper describes the upgrade of the software of the existing watchdog interlock system to a generic comparator, enabling its usage for other applications.

  The Helmholtz Association has initiated the implementation of the Data Management and Analysis concept across its centers in Germany. At Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, both the beamline and the machine (accelerator) groups have started working towards setting up the infrastructure and tools to introduce modern analysis, optimization, automation and AI techniques for improving the performance of the (large scale) user facility and its experimental setups. This paper focuses on our first steps with Machine Learning techniques over the past months at BESSY II as well as organizational topics and collaborations. The presented results correspond to two complementary scenarios. The first one is based on supervised ML models trained with real accelerator data, whose target are real-time predictions for several measurements (lifetime, efficiency, beam loss, …); some of these techniques are also used for additional tasks such as outlier detection or feature importance analysis. The second scenario includes first prototypes towards self-tuning of machine parameters in different optimization cases (injection efficiency, orbit correction, …) with Deep Reinforcement Learning agents.

WEPHA065 Upgraded Beam Instrumentation DAQ for GSI and FAIR: Overview and First Experiences controls, timing, software, extraction 1248

  As construction of the FAIR accelerator complex progresses, the existing heavy ion synchroton SIS18, the storage ring ESR and the high energy beam transfer lines HEBT have been upgraded to the future control system. Within this upgrade the beam instrumentation (BI) data acquisition systems (DAQ) have been heavily modernized too. These are now integrated into the control system with its White Rabbit based timing system, data supply (i.e. ion species, energy, etc) and services like archiving. Dedicated clients running in the main control room allow visualization and correlation of the data and status of the BI devices. The DAQ hardware has been upgraded using new state-of-the-art components. With a trend to slowly phase out VME based systems, solutions based on standard Industrial PC for few channels as well as on the new µTCA standard for many channels have been successfully implemented. This contribution will give an overview over the upgraded BI-DAQ systems like current transformers and counter applications for ionization chambers, scintillators, and more. It will also present first experiences during beam operation with the new control system, which started summer last year.

  Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) and Taiwan light source (TLS) have been operated in the same time. TPS is a 3 GeV electron energy, 518 m circumference, low-emittance synchrotron storage ring which will offer one of the synchrotron x-ray sources, provide cutting-edge experimental facilities and novel multidisciplinary scientific research. TLS is a 1.5 Gev electron energy. The control system is difference between two facilities. Amount of instruments and devices these must be monitored and controlled by operator. The difference diagnostic tools will be difficult to operate and analysis between two system. These utility toolkits are effective to reduce operator loading. However, these tools are developed with same concept, combined with two difference machine is effective and reduce maintenance efforts. These applications of software will be reported in this conference.

  In a part of the SPring-8 upgrade project, the SACLA linac will be used as the injector for the SPring-8 storage ring. We will upgrade the beam monitor system for beam transport, which consists of screen monitor (SCM), beam position monitor (BPM) and current monitor (CT). For the SCM, we adopted GigE Vision standard for the CCD camera and EtherCAT as a field bus for the stepper motor control of focusing system. We have developed camera control software using open source libraries to integrate various vendors’ GigE Vision cameras with the SPring-8 control framework. A grabbed image is stored into the file server and property, such as camera settings for image and event number, is stored into the database. The BPM is a key device for precise and stable injection. We adopted the commercially available MTCA.4 fast ADC/DAC module with modified firmware developed for readout of the BPM and the CT. We are developing acquisition software for MTCA.4 modules to synchronize with a beam trigger. The acquired data are stored into the database with time stamp and event number. We present the preparation of beam monitor control system for the beam transport to injection from SACLA to SPring-8.
