  Wire scanners are a main diagnostic tool for transverse beam size and emittance measurements at LCLS. The original SLAC wire scanners were not optimized for speed (taking minutes to scan), and can't perform at the desired level of position resolution necessary for measuring LCLS' small beam size. A new fast wire scanner, based on a dc linear servo motor, has been designed and installed in the LCLS. The new fast wire scanner has several advantages over the original wire scanner: scan times are reduced from minutes to seconds while minimizing wire vibrations. Rather than counting open-loop step pulses, the new fast wire scanner uses real time position capture for beam synchronous sampling of the wire position, enhancing beam profile accuracy.

The Accelerator R&D Group within the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) Physics Division maintains a beam dynamics model named TRACK. This simulation code has the potential to assist operators in visualizing key performance parameters of the Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerating System (ATLAS). By having real-time access to visual and animated models of the particle beam transverse and longitudinal phase spaces, operators can more quickly iterate to a final machine tune. However, this effort requires a seamless integration into the control system, both to extract initial run-time information from the accelerator, and to present the simulation results back to the users. This paper presents efforts to pre-process, batch execute, and visualize TRACK particle beam physics simulations in real-time via the ATLAS Control System.

  The electron/positron injector linac at KEK has injected a variety of beams into the electron accelerator complex of SuperKEKB collider and light sources for particle physics and photon science experiments for more than 30 years. The beam property of electrons and positrons varies in energy from 2.5 GeV to 7 GeV and in bunch charge from 0.2 nC to 10 nC, and their stability requirements are different depending on the injected storage ring. They have to be switched by pulse-to-pulse modulation at 50 Hz. The emittance control is especially crucial to achieve the goal at SuperKEKB and is under development. The beam energy management becomes more important as it affects all of the beam properties. Beam acceleration provided by 60 RF power station should be properly distributed considering redundancy and stability. Thus, the equipment controls are also restructured in order to enable the precise control of the beam properties, based on the synchronized event control system and EPICS control system. The strategy and status of the upgrade is described in this paper from the practical aspects of device controls, online simulation and operation.
