13. OR13 - Development of Particle Therapy Database of Operation and Maintenance

Hikaru Souda (Yamagata-U)

13/09/2023, 11:00

A database system for operation and maintenance of the accelerator and irradiation system for particle therapy was developed. The main function is to record and search detailed information of machine troubles. Each actual “trouble event” was entered into the database and aggregated into a higher level concept of “trouble class”. Trouble frequency analysis and progress management including...

"Elettra Synchrotron Trieste is a multidisciplinary research center that welcomes the global research community. It specializes in producing high-quality synchrotron and free-electron laser light and applying them in the fields of materials and life sciences. The research center boasts two advanced light sources: the electron storage ring Elettra (2.0 – 2.4GeV) and the free-electron laser...

15. OR15 - Automated Profile and Beam Intensity Measurements at TRIUMF

Blair Stringer (TRIUMF)

During operation of a particle accelerator, frequent diagnostic checks along the beam path using multiple devices are needed to determine the quality and properties of the delivered beam. A high-level application (HLA) has been built that automates this process, moving devices in and out while collecting and saving diagnostic data, beam properties and all relevant optics settings into a...

16. OR16 - Software and Toolchain in the MAX IV Operations Group

Rutger Nieuwenhuis (MAX-IV)

13/09/2023, 12:00

"MAX IV is a synchrotron radiation facility based on a 3 GeV linear accelerator, which powers a soft and hard x-ray storage ring, as well as a short pulse facility. At MAX IV, an extensive set of tools developed by operators assists in all aspects of operations. Operator-developed tools are often more targeted and faster implemented than tools developed by a software team. Different tools used...
