"Accelerator-based high energy neutron sources are foreseen to characterize the material of future fusion reactors. The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is a full-scale prototype aiming at validating the production of a deuteron beam of 125 mA at 9 MeV in continuous wave under the Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and Europe.
Just as an orchestra needs a conductor,...
The J-PARC 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) aims to deliver 1 MW proton beam to the materials and life science experimental facility (MLF) and the main ring synchrotron. In such a high intensity beam , there is a possibility to cause a severe radiation accident. To detect and prevent the radiation accident in the accelerator system, we developed the beam diagnostics system in RCS. This...
Visual aids play a crucial role in the operation of Canadian Light Source, providing valuable information to scientists, engineers, and operators. Multiple screens represent real time data about the machine's status, its parameters, and diagnostics in an easy to read and understandable form. These visual aids allow operators in particular to monitor and control various aspects of the...
"The FAIR International Accelerator Facility, one of the largest science projects in the world, is being built at the GSI Helmholtz Center in Darmstadt, Germany. With construction work on the main buildings and accelerator tunnels for the FAIR first science stage nearing completion, the project is soon entering its final phase. Installation of the accelerator components will begin next year,...
In 2017 the Australian Synchrotron secured funding to build 8 new beamlines to accompany the existing 10 that have been in operation since 2007. After initial delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic many of these beamlines have started to come online in some capacity over the past 12 months. The accelerator operators have been actively involved in this process, which has included: commissioning...
The SAGA Light Source (SAGA-LS) is a compact synchrotron radiation facility. The SAGA-LS accelerator complex consists of a 255 MeV linac and a 1.4 GeV electron storage ring of 75.6 m in circumference. The accelerator research group is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the accelerator system. The annual operation time for synchrotron radiation experiments has been around 1700...
RHIC Run 23 faced numerous challenges, largely caused by running in the heat of the summer. This talk covers the plethora of unexpected issues experienced during the run, and our attempts to address and mitigate them.
A method to measure relative changes of the bunch length based on the spectrum of the induced voltage on a BPM button has been developed at ALBA. The bunch length has been calibrated using a Streak Camera for different filling patterns and beam currents. The idea is to have an alternative, redundant and readily available measurements of the bunch length during machine operation, avoiding the...
For the First machine Elettra we used and optical method and reached a presion of tenths of millimetres. For Elettra 2.0 we Will use Absolute tracker, a network for inserting objects and an appropriate software. In this case we would reach a centesimal millimetres precision.
Research Center for Electron Photon Science (ELPH) of Tohoku University operates three electron linear accelerators (linacs) and an electron synchrotron for various scientific fields, such as radioisotope production, proton radius measurement, and hadron physics experiments. One of the linacs, operational since 1967, is outdated and frequently malfunctions. Our team of about eight people,...
