Application in research facilities and industry
Piezos are surprisingly simple functional components with extraordinary properties: high force generation, very fast reaction and high resolution. Different piezo actuator principles are presented and a short market view is given. Using concrete application examples, the unique properties of piezo technology are presented which lead to great advantages in applications.
To put it in a...

Application in research facilities and industry
As MicroTCA expands into applications beyond the telecommunications industry from which it originated, it faces new challenges in the area of inter-blade communications. The ability to achieve deterministic, low-latency communications between blades is critical to realizing a scalable architecture. In the past, legacy bus architectures accomplished inter-blade communications using dedicated...

Application in research facilities and industry
We want to summarize single cavity and piezo control activities started in 2015. The MTCA.4 based hardware components (AMC-RTM) have been setup for different applications and setups and used for fast or slow feedbacks. A dedicated software blocks have been applied for easy access and diagnostics of the digital signal processing units. The possible applications are presented and briefly discussed.

Application in research facilities and industry
Although the MTCA standard is commonly used for accelerator control systems at synchrotron radiation sources, most experiment control systems at the X-ray beamlines are still based on the old VME standard and use products which are close to obsolescence. In my presentation I will show how MTCA will be used at the new chemical crystallography beamline P24 at PETRA III. I will also discuss how...

Application in research facilities and industry
For diagnosing specific longitudinal properties of the ultra-relativistic electron bunches several monitor systems have been implemented at the European XFEL. Various measurement principles are utilised to monitor bunch properties like arrival time and bunch length detected from electro-magnetic field effects in a frequency range of several 10GHz up to THz, partly using electro-optical...
