  The old LHC Access Control System (LACS) was based on a single access control solution, which integrated software and hardware into one monolithic application encompassing all the different subsystems (access control, video surveillance, interphones, biometry, equipment control, safety elements). Both the hardware and software were approaching end-of-life by the vendor before the CERN Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). The new design is based on a distributed approach, where the different subsystems are integrated in a flexible manner with well-defined interfaces, which will permit much easier single sub-system management, upgrades, and even full replacements if necessary. From the system point of view, the focus is on the advantages that this redesign brings to system operation, testing, and management. Procedurally the interest is in the overall management of a very complex in-place upgrade of a system, where the new implementation needed to coexist with the old during its constant simultaneous solicitation over the LS2.

GaAs-based photocathodes are one of the major sources of spin-polarized electrons and are crucial for the upcoming Electron-Ion collider experiments which includes study of proton spin and spin parity violation in the standard model. The theoretical polarization limit in unstrained GaAs photocathodes is 50 % but only 35 % is routinely achieved in experiments. Spin selective filtering allows to boost the spin polarization beyond the 50 % theoretical limit. In this work, first-principle electronic calculations using standard Density Functional Theory are performed to predict possible Heusler alloy half-metal candidates to be used as spin-filter. Simulations are also performed to investigate the half-metallicity as function of the magnetic spin direction. Several devices are experimentally fabricated using dedicated Molecular Beam Epitaxy growth system. We implemented Quantum Efficiency and Polarization testing of these half-metal/GaAs heterostructures using a dedicated Mott polarimeter system. Photoemission can also be seen on magnetically switching the spin-filter direction accompanied by a change in sign of the asymmetry which is a qualitative proof of the spin-filtering effect.

  At the ELBE accelerator center a superconducting linac is operated to drive manifold secondary radiation sources like two infrared FELs, a positron source and a THz facility. The machine uses two injectors as electron sources that are accelerated in the main linac. The user experiments demand a large variety of bunch patterns from single shot to macro pulsed and cw beam at up to 26 MHz repetition rate. At ELBE a new timing system is being developed based on the MRF hardware platform and the MRF Timing System IOC. It uses two masters and a scalable number of connected receivers to generate the desired pulse patterns for operating the machine and to control user experiments. The contribution will show the architecture of the timing system, the control interfacing and performance measurements acquired on the test bench.

  At DESY an upgrade of the PETRA III synchrotron light source towards a fourth-generation, low emittance machine PETRA IV is currently being actively pursued. The realization of this new machine implies a new design of the timing and synchronization system since requirements on beam quality and controls will significantly change from the existing implementation at PETRA III. As of now the technical design phase of the PETRA IV project is in full swing. For the timing system the design process of the overall system as well as the evaluation of individual components has been started as of last year. Given the success of the at DESY developed MicroTCA.4-based timing system for the European XFEL accelerator it has been chosen to serve as a basis for the PETRA IV timing system developement as well. We present first design ideas of the major timing system hardware component, a MicroTCA.4-based AMC for distributing clocks, triggers and further bunch-synchronous information within the accelerator complex and to user experiments. First steps of an evaluation process for designing the AMC hardware are briefly illustrated.

  Synchrotron design and operation are one of the complex tasks which requires a lot of precise computation. As an example, we could mention the simulations done for calculating the impedance budget of the machine which requires a notable amount of computational power. In this paper we are going to review different HPC scenarios suitable for this matter then we will present our design of a suitable HPC based on the accelerator physicists and engineers’ needs. Going through different HPC scenarios such as shared memory architectures, distributed memory architectures, cluster, grid and cloud computing we conclude implementation of a dedicated computing cluster can be desired for ILSF. Cluster computing provides the opportunity for easy and saleable scientific computation for ILSF also another advantage is that its resources can be used for running cloud or grid computing platforms as well.

The Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) to a diffraction-limited storage ring with a small vacuum chamber diameter requires excellent orbit stability and a fast response orbit interlock for machine protection. The on-axis swap-out injection scheme and dual RF frequencies demand fast monitoring of pulsed injection magnets and a novel approach to timing. Recent development efforts at ALS and advances in PLLs, FPGAs, and RFSoCs that provide higher performance and mixed-signal integration can be leveraged for instrumentation solutions to these accelerator challenges. An overview of preliminary ALS-U instrumentation system designs and status will be presented.

It is well known that the efficiency of an advanced control algorithm like machine learning is as good as its data quality. Much recent progress in technology enables the massive data acquisition from a control system of modern particle accelerator, and the wide use of embedded controllers, like field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), provides an opportunity to collect fast data from technical subsystems for monitoring, statistics, diagnostics or fault recording. To improve the data quality, at the APS Upgrade project, a general-purpose data acquisition (DAQ) system is under active development. The APS-U DAQ system collects high-quality fast data from underneath embedded controllers, especially the FPGAs, with the manner of time-correlation and synchronously sampling, which could be used for commissioning, performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and early fault detection, etc. This paper presents the design and latest progress of APS-U high-performance DAQ infrastructure, as well as its preparation to enable the use of machine learning technology for APS-U, and its use cases at APS.

  To avoid any damage to the beam dump target in the Future Circular Collider, the beam will be swept over its surface using oscillating kickers in the x/y planes with a 90-degree phase difference, and an amplitude changing in time, creating a spiral pattern. The ideal pattern must have an increasing spiral pitch towards smaller radii to produce an even energy deposition density. We recommend the realization of the optimal pattern using two beating frequencies. This method enables a flat energy deposition density while only using simple independent damped oscillators. In this poster, we also present the study of the beamline optics and hardware that can realize the needed pattern. Two different possible hardware layouts were examined and optimized as well.

  SixTrackLib is a library for performing beam-dynamics simulations on highly parallel computing devices such as shared memory multi-core processors or graphical processing units (GPUs). Its single-particle approach fits very well with parallel implementations with reasonable baseline performance, making such a library an interesting building block for various use cases, including simulations covering collective effects. We describe optimizations to improve their performance on SixTrackLib’s main target platforms and the associated performance gains. Finally, we outline the implemented technical interfaces and extensions that allow SixTrackLib to be used in a wider range of applications and studies.

  A new fast orbit feedback (FOFB) hardware architecture has been pursued at Sirius. The fast corrector magnets’ are fed by power supply modules which are placed in the same MicroTCA.4 crates where the BPM digitizers and FOFB controllers are located. Each channel is made of a 3-Watt linear amplifier whose output currents are digitally controlled by the same FPGA where the distributed orbit feedback controller is processed. The amplifier is specified to reach up to 10 kHz small-signal bandwidth on a 3.5 mH inductance magnet and ±1 A full scale, which translates to 30 urad deflection on Sirius’ 3 GeV beam. Such a high level of integration aims at minimizing the overall latency of the FOFB loop while leveraging the crate infrastructure, namely electronics enclosure, DC power, cooling, and hardware management support already provided by the MTCA.4 crates. The fast corrector power supply channels are placed on Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) which are attached to the front AMC FPGA module where the FOFB controller is implemented. This paper will describe the main design concepts and report on the experimental results of the first prototypes.

  Although a theoretical calculation might predict the set currents of the flat wires, which are used to compensate the deviation in the Betatron tune caused by the elliptically polarized undulator (EPU), those set currents must still be tuned in reality. To approach this reality, a strategy of Machine Learning was adopted, which included collecting real-condition data and using a linear-regression model to adjust the parameters of the flat wires. After training the model, the predictions in variables tune x, tune y and beam size x were compared with the required amount of correction of the EPU at various gaps and phases. To prove the feasibility of this method, a test was performed under the real conditions of accelerator Taiwan Light Source (TLS).
