Session 1
- Holger Schlarb (DESY)
At the European Spallation Source, a range of control systems have been deployed using MicroTCA and PLCs. MicroTCA has become the standard platform for the fast controls needed to operate various sub-systems, such as LLRF, Machine Protection Systems, Timing Distribution and Beam Instrumentation applications.
The talk will give an overview of the current status of MicroTCA at ESS and...
The MTCA workshop in Japan 2025 (MTCAWS in Japan 2025) was held from August 27 to 29 at KEK in person, while the last Japanese workshop in 2021 was held in a virtual format under COVID-19 conditions. The goal of this workshop is to boost the application of MTCA in Japan by exchanging the information and experiences. We welcomed the lecturer from DESY, who gave us a tutorial lecture on FPGA...
The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project at CERN is set to introduce a series of major upgrades across the LHC complex, including the implementation of crab cavities, applied for the first time in a hadron machine. These cavities are designed to increase beam luminosity by compensating for the geometric luminosity reduction caused by the crossing angle at the interaction...
