The Duke Storage Ring Control System
نویسنده
چکیده
The Duke storage ring is a dedicated facility for the UV-VUV FEL operation. The low level computer control system for the Duke storage ring is developed using EPICS. The control hardware employs several different architectures including CAMAC, GPIB, Allen Bradley, and VME. The high level control is implemented in Tcl-Tk scripts running on SPARCstations. TclTk provides the global control capabilities such as the energy ramping, the orbit compensation, and the tune and chromaticity control. The Duke storage ring control system was tested and operational for storage ring commissioning in Nov. 1994. During commissioning, additional control tools were developed to facilitate the operation.

متن کاملControl System Design and Upgrade Considerations for the Duke Free Electron Laser Laboratory
The Duke Free Electron Laser Laboratory currently operates two FELs: the OK-4/Duke Storage Ring FEL, and the Mark III IR FEL. Both of these systems were among the early adopters of the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS). The Mark III EPICS control system was completed and operational in September, 1993. The Duke Storage Ring was commissioned in November of 1994 using EPI...
متن کاملBeam Position Monitors for Duke Fel Storage Ring
The Duke FEL storage ring is a 1Gev electron ring, which is designed for driving UV-VUV free electron lasers. The ring has been in operation since November of 1994 [1] but the beam position monitors (BPMs) were connected and operated just recently. The BPM pick-ups are 4 stripline electrodes. In order to reduce the higher-order-mode loss excited by the stored beam at the BPM pick-up area, the B...
متن کاملAnomalous hollow electron beams in a storage ring.
This Letter reports the first observations of an anomalous hollow electron beam in the Duke storage ring. Created by exciting the single-bunch beam in a lattice with a negative chromaticity, the hollow beam consists of a solid core inside and a large ring outside. We report the detailed measurements of the hollow beam phenomenon, including its distinct image pattern, spectrum signature, and its...
متن کاملStatus Report on the Duke Fel Facility*
At the Duke Free Electron Laser (FEL) Laboratory, there are two FEL machines: the Mark III infrared FEL and the OK-4/Storage Ring, which produces UV and XUV laser beam as well as gamma rays via Compton backscattering. The recent status of Mark-III machine is described in another paper [1]. Here we will concentrate on the new development of the OK-4/Storage Ring FEL and its performance and capab...
