The Machine Protection System (MPS) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is the system that aborts a high intensity proton beam pulse to prevent unnecessary radio activation of accelerator components when it receives a failure signal of the device constituting the accelerator. Because of improvements of the first extraction (FX) device, it was recently able to abort the...

7. CERN Accelerators Tools and Systems

Mr Yannick Le Borgne (CERN)

01/10/2018, 10:50

Operator-made tools and software

Oral

Cern accelerator complex is composed of many operation tools and systems. These tools are vital to achieve high performance and reliable operation. Operation Tools are interfaced with the middleware. This will allow the operator to diagnose and optimise high level accelerator machine parameters. A good operation skill is needed to use these devices. This talk will describe the role and the...

56. The Operator-developed Useful Tools at SuperKEKB Accelerator

Mr Takuya Nakamura (Mitsubishi Electric System & Service CO. Ltd.,)

Operator-made tools and software

Oral

The main tasks of SuperKEKB operators are beam tuning, safety management and operation logging.
In order to ensure these tasks, the operators may create some applications.
Several applications were created by operators under the guidance of staff.
Meanwhile, some applications, created by the operator himself, to ensure work.
In this time, we will introduce various applications created by...

70. Development of the NSRL Galactic Cosmic Ray Simulator

Nicholas Kling (Brookhaven National Lab)

Operator-made tools and software

Oral

The Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) Simulator project at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) was developed to assess the biological risks of exposure to the wide variety of ion species (and energies) that would be experienced on manned space missions outside the protection provided in Low Earth Orbit. In recent years tools have been developed to enable rapid,...

46. Reducing the Time between Thought and Action - a Physical Interface for Routine Operational Tasks

Michael Wren

Operator-made tools and software

Oral

Complex accelerator facilities necessitate complex controls. Often these complex controls impede quick and efficient responses to changing operational requests and accelerator downtime. We present an implementation of a physical interface to control the operational state of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory accelerator complex. By lowering the barrier of execution this interface...

25. Web Applications for Operators' Scheduled Work

Ms Nina He (Triumf)

Operator-made tools and software

Oral

Accelerator operation requires schedule work 24/7, year around. We take advantage of website technology to create the applications for schedule work.
- Operators work schedule is an interactive system. Operators can see planed schedule for whole year, and input actual time off or change in the system. The application will generate a timesheet according to the records.
- Experiments technical...
