Baseline design of the Taiwan photon Source (TPS) control system of NSRRC is proposed. The control system design is based on EPICS toolkits. Guidelines for hardware platform and operating system choice will be addressed. The EPICS test bed will be setup to evaluate various selected hardware and software components. The TPS control system will provide versatile environments for machine commissio...

Supplementing nutrition education with skills-building activities may enhance community awareness of diet-related cancer prevention guidelines. To develop a cookbook with lifestyle tips, recipes were solicited from the National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer (NBLIC) community coalitions and dietary intake advice from participants in the Educational Program to Increase Colorectal Cancer S...

The Jefferson Laboratory electron accelerator is controlled by the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS), which was initially developed by the Los Alamos and Argonne National Laboratories, and which has since become an extensive collaboration among scientific institutions worldwide. In keeping with the spirit of cooperation and exchange fostered by the EPICS community, the ...

Commissioning of the high brightness photoinjector for the Energy Recovery Linac at Cornell University continues [1]. To aid in this process we have developed a “Virtual Accelerator” application, which provides the beam physicist with an online high-level physics description of the machine. This application combines a linear optics model called Numerical Transfer Matrix (NTMAT), developed at Co...

This paper proposes a character or symbol code system called EPICS for multilingual information processing and discusses its applications. EPICS integrates a variable-length coding system using 16bit units and a smart virtual machine. The variablelength coding system provides a huge code space. This huge space can include not only standardized code sets but also non-standardized codes of usersp...

From a controls viewpoint, contemporary high energy physics collider detectors are comparable in complexity to small to medium size accelerators: however, their controls requirements often differ significantly. D0, one of two collider experiments at Fermilab, has recently started a second, extended running period that will continue for the next five years. EPICS [1], an integrated set of softwa...

The diagnostics systems of the Spallation Neutron Source project are based on rack-mounted PCs with offthe-shelf and custom PCI hardware and LabVIEW. About twenty out of the total of three hundred systems are already installed and have been integrated into the EPICSbased control system. LabVIEW communicates with the EPICS IOC using a simple shared memory interface implemented in a dynamic linke...

In the first phase four beamlines have been constructed at the Swiss Light Source (SLS): two for the surface science community, one for powder and surface diffraction and computed micro-tomography, and the last one for protein crystallography. All of them are equipped with insertion devices, which users want to treat as beamline components like a monochromator or experimental station. The beaml...
