TI - Development Plan for Physics Application Software for FRIB Driver Linac J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - FRIB is a heavy ion linac facility presently under construction at Michigan State University, USA, and its driver linac accelerates CW beams of all stable ions up to uranium to the energy of 200 MeV/u with the beam power of 400 kW. We plan to start beam commissioning of the driver linac from December 2017. An adequate software environment and infrastructure is critical for our commissioning and operation. Recently, a middle layer based architecture, EPICS V4 based services for example, for physics application has been rapidly developed at other facilities like NSLS II. It has been showing its flexibility, and portability. After reviewing those recent developments, we decided to adopt these services as software infrastructure for FRIB driver linac commissioning. It enables us to take advantage of their cutting edge technologies and maturity as a system sustained by the experience accumulated in the commissioning of NSLS-II. In this paper, we present a plan to develop physics application software for FRIB driver linac based on EPICS V4 services and related software. We also present a plan to adjust these EPICS V4 related software to meet the FRIB specific requirements.
