29. Status of the AWAKE run 2c photoinjector LLRF at CERN

Ben Woolley (CERN)

06/12/2023, 14:00

As part of the proposed AWAKE run 2c upgrade, an additional electron injector will be installed to produce a 160 MeV electron beam. The injector consists of an S-band photoinjector, an X-band buncher and a pair of high-gradient X-band accelerator structures. RF pulse compressors are required to reach the design energy, adding complexity to the LLRF control system. A MicroTCA based LLRF system...

30. Next-generation diagnostics for ASDEX Upgrade

Mr Miguel Astrain Etxezarreta (Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik)

06/12/2023, 14:15

For 30 years, the ASDEX Upgrade diagnostics provided scientists with the experimental data needed to advance the field of fusion. During this time, the machine's systems and diagnostics have evolved. In-house production of state-of-the-art data acquisition hardware has been the norm. However, the serial input/output standards SIO1, SIO1a, and SIO2 have reached the end of their useful life....

50. Development of a custom µRTM using KiCad

René Geißler (GSI)

06/12/2023, 14:30

GSI is a particle physics research institute located in Darmstadt, Germany. At the same location, a new accelerator facility called FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) is currently under construction.
Our beam instrumentation department is using MicroTCA systems for measuring beam parameters like position, intensity and profile, for accurate timing control, for measuring voltages...

12. Update on LISA Phasemeter based on MicroTCA as ground-support equipment

Christian Domenic Darsow-Fromm (Universität Hamburg)

06/12/2023, 14:45

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...

48. Update on Digital Hardware Developments at DESY

Michael Fenner (MSK (Strahlkontrollen))

06/12/2023, 15:00

In this talk, we will present our latest developments, such as our universal MPSoC-based RTM connectivity board (DAMC-UNIZUP), our 8-channel SFP+ RTM fanout board (DRTM-8SFP+) or the DAMC-DS5014DR, our RFSoC-based digitizer that is currently under development.

We will show measurements of the Yamaichi AMC connector and we will give an update on our MicroTCA Motion Controller...

39. MTCA-based Accelerator and Related Control Systems at DESY

Tim Wilksen (DESY)

06/12/2023, 15:15

MTCA-based systems are widely used at many of DESY's accelerator facilities. A brief review of the current accelerator controls status and some experiences with focus on the used MTCA technology will be shared. After the successful implementation of MTCA at the European XFEL and FLASH facilities meanwhile this hardware standard and platform made its inroads into the various new projects and...
