New Operations Building

■ New "combined function" control room►SLS►Proton facility►PROSCAN►XFEL

■ New server room

■ New offices

■ New cafeteria



SLS Filling Pattern Feedback

■ Better charge distribution

■ Improved beam stability

Separate talk



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



Other SLS (PX) Beamline Improvements

■ High precision rotation stage separate talk

■ Sample mounting robot separate talk

■ Pilatus 6M detector

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



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

1. Lead target2. D2O moderator3. Solid D2 moderator 4. UCN guide5. Valve6. To experiments7. Storage tank



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

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

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
