32. OR32 - The crucial role of the Software Interlock System at CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron

Serge Massot (CERN)

"The SPS accelerates beams at intensities and energies which are potentially damaging to the machine and therefore machine protection interlocks are essential.

A rigid system of hardware interlocks is required to reliably avoid these dangerous circumstances, however, with the multicycling nature of CERN's accelerator complex today a flexible, software based system with more complex logic is...

33. OR33 - Operations of cryogenic systems of SuperKEKB final focusing superconducting system

Zhanguo ZONG (KEK)

"SuperKEKB is an accelerator to collide electron and positron particles with a nano-beam collision scheme and is equipped with two cryostats to accommodate 55 superconducting magnets for final focusing. Each cryostat is cooled by an independent cryogenic system employing a refrigerator of 250 W at 4.41 K and a subcooler to supply subcooled liquid helium (LHe). The cryogenic systems are...

34. OR34 - Managing The Alarm Load at SNS

Geoff Milanovich (SNS)

12/09/2023, 12:00

"Operators at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) must handle alarms from a diverse set of systems with different response needs. The accelerator systems rely on annunciation and management through Control System Studio's Best Ever Alarm System Toolkit (BEAST) and operator-developed EPICS screens. In addition, there are separate non-EPICS based systems for building...
