  A diagnostic has been developed at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) for the purpose of identifying low momentum beam tails in the linear accelerator. These tails must be eliminated in order to maintain the transverse and longitudinal beam size. Instead of the currently used phosphor camera system, this instrument consists of a Multi Wire Proportional Chamber (MWPC) front end coupled to an EPICS compliant VME-based electronics package. Low momentum tails are detected with a resolution of 5 mm in the MWPC at a high dispersion point near a bending magnet. While phosphor is typically not sensitive in the nano amp range, the MWPC is sensitive down to about a pico amp. The electronics package processes the signals from each of the MWPC wires to generate an array of beam currents at each of the lower energies. The electronics has an analog front end with a high-speed analog to digital converter for each wire. Data from multiple wires are processed with an embedded digital signal processor and results placed in a set of VME registers. An EPICS application assembles the data from these VME registers into a display of beam current vs. beam energy (momentum) in the LANSCE control room.

  One of the most important aims of the diagnostic system is to provide high reliability. This article describes the concept and the proposal for diagnostic system for Low Level Radio Frequency system for EU-XFEL. It enables immediate location of faults and understanding of their causes, tests the functionality of LLRF system, tests each the electronic board and connections. Diagnostic system tests different system components and compares results from these tests with e.g. from power supplies monitors. Hardware, software and database aspect of diagnostic system is presented. The main part of this paper is devoted to hardware and software specification.

  J-PARC linac consists of a 3 MeV RFQ linac, a 50 MeV DTL (Drift Tube Linac), a 190 MeV SDTL (Separate-type DTL), and a 400 MeV ACS (Annular-Coupled Structure) linac, and its total length is more than 400 m including the beam transport line to the succeeding RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron). In high-current proton accelerators, precise alignment of accelerator components is indispensable to reduce uncontrolled beam loss and beam quality deterioration. In this paper, planned schemes for the linac alignment is presented together with instrumentation for the long-term ground-motion watching.

  The R&D of a high current proton RFQ is one of the most important research tasks of the Accelerator Driven Sub-critical system (ADS) basic research project. In preliminary research phase, the 352.2 MHz RF system will be operated in pulse mode. CERN kindly provided IHEP with some RF equipment. Because the given RF system was used for CW operation at CERN before, to apply them to our pulse mode operation, some modifications and improvements are necessary. We made some indispensable assemblies, and also did some tests and commissioning of every sub-system. At present, the initial high power conditioning of the klystron is finished, and output power can reach nominal value. A description of RF power system is given, in particularly, the performance of HV power supply, thyratron crowbar and capacitors, hard tube modulator and its control electronics, and klystron power conditioning are presented.

  The RF-station interlock for the European X-ray laser will be based on a 19"- 3U crate incorporating a controller with the 32-bit RISC NIOS-processor (ALTERA). The main task of the interlock system is to prevent any damage from the components of the RF station and connected cavities. The interlock system must also guarantee a maximum time of operation of the RF stations which implies the implementation of self diagnostics and repair strategies on a module basis. Additional tasks are: collection and temporary storage of status information of the individual channels of the interlock system, transfer of this information to the control system, slow control functions (e.g. HV setting and monitoring) and control of inputs and outputs from and to other subsystems. In this paper we present the implementation using an ALTERA-FPGA running a 32-bit RISC NIOS-processor. Connection to the accelerator main control is provided by Ethernet using BSD-style socket routines based on ALTERA's plugs-library. The layout of the system is presented and first hardware components are shown.
