The LLRF of the CERN SPS has gone through a complete renovation during the Long Shutdown 2019-2020. The upgrade was motivated by the High Luminosity LHC project (HL-LHC) that calls for the doubling of the SPS beam intensity .
Installation of two additional cavities and the obsolescence of the aging electronics required the redesign of the 200MHz cavity-controller system (RF feedback) and of...
MedAustron is a synchrotron-based particle therapy center located in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. The acceleration of the protons and heavy ions is achieved through a LINAC injector followed by a synchrotron, featuring three irradiation rooms for particle therapy and one room for non-clinical research. In the course of an ongoing development project, the LINAC LLRF will be upgraded to a...
At Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB), it is planned to apply mTCA.4 technology for the LLRF control of two of its accelerator facilities: BESSY-II and SeaLab. BESSY-II is a 3rd generation Synchrotron Light Source in operation since 1998 and focused on the generation of soft X-rays, complementing this way PETRA-III at DESY. It comprises a booster ring with one PETRA-type 500MHz normal conducting...
