    Aging machines – dealing with legacy machines, fleeting knowledge
    Oral

    The superconducting, recirculating electron accelerator S-DALINAC has been built in the 1980s at TU Darmstadt. The first beam was achieved in 1987 and since 1991 it is in full operation. The operation as well as further development and improvements of the machine are done mainly by students. This educational aspect leads to exchanging operators after a maximum of a few years. A lot of effort...

    Oral

    Accelerators and beam transport systems typically contain numerous beamline diagnostics to measure beam particles distributions, beam emittance, beam energy, to monitor beamline vacuum and beam loss etc. As with any aging beamline system, there are legacy diagnostics that are still effective, but replacements are not essential until inevitable. It was observed that diagnostics, including...

    Oral

    The linear accelerator at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has produced electron beams since 1967. Over the years, there have been many generations of upgrades, additions, removals, and reconfigurations of both the accelerator hardware and control system, but never a complete tear-down and replacement of the accelerator - bits and pieces of every generation of SLAC equipment remain in...
