The Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) is one of the detectors of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The ECAL Detector Control System (DCS) software has been implemented using the WinCC Open Architecture (OA) platform. Modifications that require fundamental changes in the architecture are deployed only during the LHC long shutdowns. The upcoming long shutdown (2019-2020) offers a unique opportunity to perform large software updates to achieve a higher modularity, enabling a faster adaptation to changes in the experiment environment. We present the main activities of the ECAL DCS upgrade plan, covering aspects such as the re-organization of the computing infrastructure, the consolidation of integration tools using virtualized environments and the further usage of centralized resources. CMS software toolkits are evaluated from the point of view of the standardization of important parts of the system, such as the machine protection mechanism and graphical user interfaces. Many of the presented features are currently being developed, serving as precursors to the major ECAL upgrade foreseen for the next long shutdown (~2024-2025).

  In this article we give an overview about the controls of the robotic sample mounting system Marvin in user operation at the DESY Petra III synchrotron Beamlines of the EMBL. Two protein crystallography Beamlines each equipped with the in house build robotic sample mounting system are in user operation. The controls of the sample mounting system ‘Marvin’ and especially new developments to decrease down times as well as system recovery routines will be described in detail.

THP05 Development and Current Status of KURAMA-II survey, radiation, monitoring, operation 170

  KURAMA-II, a successor of a carborne gamma-ray survey system named KURAMA (Kyoto University RAdiation MApping system), has been developed and applied to various activities related to the nuclear accident at TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011. KURMA-II has established its position as an effective method for the radiation monitoring method in environment on a long-term basis. The development of KURAMA-II is still on the way to extend its application areas such as the trial to port the system to a single-board computer or the development of cloud services of data management for the users who don’t have capabilities to manage the data processing system. In this paper, the current status of KURAMA-II on its developments and applications along with some results from its applications are introduced.

Accelerator physics studies at the storage ring KARA at KIT produce terabytes of diagnostics data per day, which is recorded once and then reused on a long-term basis to answer different research questions at KIT. Finally, raw data and intermediate analysis results should be published along with scientific results. Thus storing from the very beginning the data of all analysis steps and its metadata in a central portal would be very beneficial. Similar requirements exist for synchrotron X-rayμtomography at the KIT imaging cluster and there is an interest to share the large data analysis effort. By using a new collaborative approach, the NOVA project aims to create tools, to enable an efficient use of valuable beam time. Forμtomography beamlines the project will build up a comprehensive database of various demonstrator organisms up for the morphological analysis of animals. The NOVA portal is integrated in the local data handling procedures and the datasets automatically appear in the NOVA portal as they are recorded. For both applications, accelerator diagnostics and X-ray tomography, the NOVA portal will offer new collaborative tools to enable synergetic data analysis.
