84. Tim Wilksen - The MicroTCA-Based Accelerator Control System For The European XFEL - First Experiences With A Production System

05/12/2018, 09:45

Talk

The MicroTCA-based Accelerator Control System for the European XFEL has been in operation as a production system since more than one and half a year now. A brief review and some experiences with focus on the used MicroTCA technology will be presented. Nowadays available hardware and software implementations using the MicroTCA platform however might not be sufficient to cope with higher data...

70. Tobias Hoffmann - FAIR Beam Instrumentation Goes MTCA

05/12/2018, 10:00

Talk

While the construction site of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) takes shape, the design and set-up of the required beam instrumentation systems is making big progress. At the small Cryring - the test bed for FAIR control system and accelerator component evaluation - the readout of ten beam position monitors with open hardware based FMC ADCs has been implemented. This fully...

93. Torsten Bluhm - MTCA.4 at Wendelstein 7-X

05/12/2018, 10:15

Talk

Wendelstein 7-X is a scientific research facility that tries to investigate the basics of a power plant based on nuclear fusion. As the worlds largest experiment of type "Stellarator" it uses a single optimized system of magnetic coils to confine the plasma. This allows continuous operation as required for a power plant in a more simple way than other fusion devices. In order to observe the...
