HEPS is a 4th generation 6GeV new synchrotron radiation
light source in China. A 500 MeV Linac has been installed and ready for
beam in the past year. The MicroTCA.4 based Low Level RF control and
timing system for the Linac will be presented.
The number of the MicroTCA systems in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is steadily increasing. The LLRF control system of the main ring (MR) was fully replaced with the new system based on MicroTCA.4. The R&D of the LLRF systems for the UHF and L-band parts of the future muon linac has been started. The systems employ the COTS RFSoC AMCs, contrary to the other applications in...
In the last few years, the programmable hardware industry has moved from evolution to revolution, both in hardware architectures and software design methodologies. The introduction of hardware configurable VLIW processor arrays has blurred the lines between FPGA and other digital signal processing technologies. Encompassed by the umbrella term “Adaptive Computing”, these hybrid computational...
The European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (European XFEL) is a 3.4 km long X-ray Free-Electron Laser facility with a superconducting, linear accelerator and three undulator beam lines, with two new on the way. User experiments have taken place since September of 2017; nowadays, typically 3 experiments run in parallel, one in each beam line.
In this overview, we present how MicroTCA...
The Universität Hamburg, in collaboration with DESY, is developing an electrical ground-support equipment phasemeter, or phasemeter simulator, based on the MicroTCA.4.1 standard, for the space-based gravitational-wave detector LISA, funded by the German Aerospace Agency (DLR).
The main task of the phasemeter is to extract the phase of various laser interferometer beat note signals with...
The PICMG Working Group, defining PCIe Gen4 and 5 as well as 100 GbE for MicroTCA, is close to finish the specification. What does these changes mean for the Crate? This talk gives an overview about the changes and additions to the specification for the data transmission line and how this influences the backplane. To accommodate the high speed switches the power to the MCH’s and the Cooling...
