MOA3O01 | SKA Telescope Manager Project Status Report | 1 |
|
||
Funding: SKA South Africa National Research Foundation of South Africa Department of Science and Technology 3rd Floor, The Park, Park Road Pinelands Cape Town South Africa 7405. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the world's largest radio telescope once it is complete and will use hundreds of thousands of receivers, spanning Africa and Australia to survey the sky in unprecedented detail. The SKA will be ground breaking in many respects such as image resolution, sensitivity, survey speed, data processing and size to name a few. The SKA Telescope Manager Consortium is currently designing the SKA Phase 1 (SKA1) Telescope Manager Element that will orchestrate the SKA Observatory and associated telescopes. In this paper, we report on the current status of the SKA1 Telescope Manager pre-construction project, the development process and its high-level architecture. |

MOA3O02 | The Large Scale European XFEL Control System: Overview and Status of the Commissioning | 5 |
|
||
The European XFEL is a 3.4km long X-ray Free Electron Laser in the final construction and commissioning phase in Hamburg. It will produce 27000 bunches per second at 17.5GeV. Early 2015 a first electron beam was produced in the RF-photo-injector and the commissioning of consecutive sections is following during this and next year. The huge number and variety of devices for the accelerator, beam line, experiment, cryogenic and facility systems pose a challenging control task. Multiple systems, including industrial solutions, must be interfaced to each other. The high number of bunches requires a tight time synchronization (down to picoseconds) and high performance data acquisition systems. Fast feedbacks from front-ends, the DAQs and online analysis system with a seamless integration of controls are essential for the accelerator and the initially 6 experimental end stations. It turns out that the European XFEL will be the first installation exceeding 2500 FPGA components in the MicroTCA form factor and will run one of the largest PROFIBUS networks. Many subsystem prototypes are already successfully in operation. An overview and status of the XFEL control system will be given. | ||

Status of the Advanced LIGO Project | |
|
||
Funding: NSF The Advanced LIGO project*, which operates a pair of ultra-high strain sensitivity gravitational wave detectors, has just started its first observation run with newly upgraded detectors. This presentation will cover the overall design of the new detectors, with a focus on the digital control system that keeps the instrument at peak sensitivity. *http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/32/7/074001 |
