  1. PSI Large Research Facilities Status SLS, Proton Facility, PROSCAN, PSI-XFEL Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  2. In use In transition Planned EPICS Usage at PSI XFEL 250 MeV Injector Test XFEL LowEmittanceGun Test PSI-XFEL PROSCAN Proton Superbuncher UCN Timing He Liquefaction SLS Operations Building Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  3. New Operations Building • New "combined function" control room • SLS • Proton facility • PROSCAN • XFEL • New server room • New offices • New cafeteria Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  4. SLS Filling Pattern Feedback • Better charge distribution • Improved beam stability • Separate talk Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  5. SLS Beamline IT Infrastructure Upgrade • Old SLS control room became new server room for beamlines • New data storage • Up to 30 TB per beamline • New network topology • Separate talk Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  6. Other SLS (PX) Beamline Improvements • High precision rotation stage • separate talk • Sample mounting robot • separate talk • Pilatus 6M detector Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  7. ProtonFacility Optis Eye Cancer Therapy SINQ Spallation Neutron Source Ring Cyclotron UCN Ultra Cold Neutrons Gantry 1 PROSCAN Proton Therapy Optis 2 Gantry 2 Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  8. Cyclotron Upgrade • New cavities for beam current upgrade to 3 mA • Replace old CAMAC with new VME hardware • New superbuncher runs with EPICS • Long term future plans: • Replace complete control system with EPICS • Integrate pion/muon beamlines • Upgrade network infrastructure Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  9. UCN (Ultra Cold Neutrons) • Spallation source under construction (start ~2009) • 5K cold deuterium moderator • neutrons <1µeV, 7m/s, 25km/h • Proton beam time structure is controlled with EPICS • Lead target • D2O moderator • Solid D2 moderator • UCN guide • Valve • To experiments • Storage tank Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  10. PROSCAN • Dedicated accelerator for cancer treatment with protons • Over one year in operation • At the moment: Trying to replace accelerator control system with EPICS • Problem: Can test only on weekends • Early 2009: Optis 2 • Partially EPICS • Patient treatment system is not EPICS • Late 2009: Gantry 2 Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  11. PSI-XFEL Experiment Building Tunnel is a bridge here ! Low Emittance Gun Aare SLS 800 m tunnel 400 m Linac 80 m Undulators farm land Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  12. PSI-XFEL Schedule • 500 keV gun test dismantled • Setup of 4 MeV test • Building for 250 MeV test linac under construction • Milestone: Proof of principle in October 2010 • XFEL construction start in 2011 • XFEL operation start in 2016 Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  13. /dev/video EPICS server PC WWW server Firewire Camera Server • Linux IOC with embedded HTTP server • Used for beam diagnostics at SLS, XFEL, … • See Mirosław Dach's talk at PCaPAC Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008

  14. Other controls activities • Upgrade of PCs to Scientific Linux 5 • Many unexpected problems • Adaption of SLS controls tools for XFEL • Build up IT infrastructure for XFEL • Evaluation of embedded Linux IOCs • Evaluation of remote control (web access) for SLS beamlines • Planned: Upgrade of SLS IOCs to EPICS 3.14 Dirk Zimoch, EPICS Collaboration Meeting October 2008
