14. Modernizing Fermilab's Control Hardware

Jennifer Case (Fermilab)

05/12/2023, 14:30

Modernizing the Fermilab accelerator control system is essential to future operations of the laboratory's accelerator complex. The existing control system has evolved over four decades and uses hardware that is no longer available. The Accelerator Controls Operations Research Network (ACORN) Project will modernize the control system and replace end-of-life power supplies to enable future...

42. Standard Deployment of MicroTCA at ESS

Faye Chicken (European Spallation Source ERIC)

05/12/2023, 14:45

With over 300 MicroTCA systems to be deployed at ESS covering multiple applications, how they are setup and maintained is an important consideration.

This talk will give an overview of where the MicroTCA systems are being installed and how ESS is applying automated scripts and playbooks to ensure a standard deployment that is easy to use and maintain.

4. Status of MTCA at J-PARC in 2023

Fumihiko Tamura (J-PARC Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency)

The LLRF systems based on MTCA.4 in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) are working stably and reliably. They support the stable beam delivery from RCS and MR to the experiments at very high beam power. There are several MTCA application projects at J-PARC, for example, timing modules and a new feedback system against beam instabilities. A COTS MTCA digitizer is now utilized for...

36. CERN High luminosity LHC LLRF project

Gregoire Hagmann (CERN)

In the framework of the High Luminosity LHC project (HL-LHC), crab cavities (CC) will be installed on both sides of the LHC interaction point (IP) 1 (ATLAS experiment) and point 5 (CMS experiment) to restore an effective head-on collision and minimize the geometric luminosity loss which arises from the crossing angle. Two crab cavities will be installed on each side of the IPs for each beam...
