"ALBA is a third generation 3GeV synchrotron light source. As soon as the operation started in 2012, the Accelerator team has required new GUIs and control tools. The amount of work in the Controls group made many of these requests to pile up in the “to do” list. On the other hand, eight operators are in charge of running the accelerator 6000 h/year, leaving 50% of their time to work for...

8. OR08 - Transitioning to EPICS while involving users and operators

The control system of the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source is being moved to EPICS from the current Vsystem control system. This transition affects many different areas of the control system from servers to hardware interfaces. But the most relevant for users and operators are the areas concerning the control screens, alarm displays and data archiving. Early involvement from machine physicists and...

9. OR09 - Optimization tool for RF phase and beam loading distribution among RF stations in SuperKEKB

Shunto Ogasawara (KEK)

SuperKEKB is an e-/e+ collider which targets the world highest luminosity. It recently achieved a new world record luminocity 4.71 × 10^34 /cm^2/s with beam current 1.4 A. In the future, beam current will be increased further to aim at the design value 3.6A. The RF system consists of 38 cavities (30 klystron stations), which share the huge beam loading brought by the high current beam. It is...
