| MOPOMS045 | Vacuum Control System Upgrade for ALPI Accelerator | 744 |

| The vacuum system of ALPI accelerator includes about 40 pumping groups based on turbomolecular pumps. The instrumentation of the accelerators complex is mainly the one installed in 90s, with consequent maintenance issues. The control and supervision systems were developed in the same period by an external company, which produced custom solutions for the HW and SW parts. Control devices are based on custom PLCs, while the supervision system is based on C and C#. The communication between the field and the supervisor is composed of multiple levels: RS-232 standard is used to transfer control parameter from the field devices up to custom multiplexers; RS-485 transmission is used from the multiplexers to two PC servers covering different sections of the installation; while Ethernet, is used to connect the servers and the operation console. Obsolescence and rigidity of the system, deficit of spare parts and impossibility of reparation or modification without external support, required a complete renovation of the vacuum system and relative controls in the next years. This paper describes the adopted strategy and the implementation status. | ||

| THPOTK003 | Optimization of Mass Resolution Parameters Combined with Ion Cooler Performance | 2770 |

High mass resolution spectrometers (HRMS) for separation of exotic ion species in nuclear physics experiment request a low emittance and small energy spread (with D E the peak-to-peak value, and sE the rms value) of the input beam, so that ion cooler devices, as a Radio Frequency Quadrupole Coolers (RFQC), are typically envisioned. The SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project at LNL requests M/(D M) about 20000, rms normalized emittance in the order of 2 nm, and for 160 keV ions, spread sE about 1 eV. Typical limits of RFQC[*] and HRMS[**] performances are discussed, and relevant formulas are implemented in easy reference tools. The necessary collisional data are reviewed, in particular for Cs+ against He gas, whose pressure ranges from 2 to 9 Pa; status of Milan test bench is briefly updated. Practical consideration on gas pumping, voltage stability and magnet design are also included.
