"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...

"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...

"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...
