The Slow Controls framework of the P̄ANDA experiment is discussed, with an accent on recent progress, available documentation and tools, and development trends foreseen for the near future. Experiment Control System We envisage the Slow Controls System of the P̄ANDA experiment [1] rather as an Experiment Control System (ECS) [2], since it must control vital processes as machine state, run start/s...

We have carried out the basic research for the accelerator and tokamak control system based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS). We have used the process database and the state notation language (SNL) in the EPICS to develop the simulator which represents as a virtual machine. In this paper. In this paper, we introduce the simulator of the global orbit feedback sys...

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...

The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) uses a broadcast method to locate resources and controls distributed across control servers. There are many advantages offered by using a centrally managed name resolution method, in which resources are located using a repository. The suitability of DCE Directory Service as a name resolution method is explored, and results from a st...

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...
