Australia’s Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) at the Australian National University (ANU) is undertaking
a project to upgrade its ion beam injection capabilities. This involves the installation of an electrostatic
analyser (ESA) to be used with the existing MSNICS ion source and a new additional ion source to produce
negative helium beams. The project requires a major reconfiguration of...
Quick overview of what a Synchrotron is and its application, an overview of the current 9 active beamlines and what new capabilities BRIGHT program will bring to the Australian Synchrotron.
The 10 MV tandem accelerator ANTARES in early 2000 was upgraded from a first generation bespoke control system, which largely relied on polled serial communications to VME and serial devices to an EPICS control system. In the following 20 years the EPICS control system has been expanded to manage more than the controls of ANTARES, such as logging facility radiation monitors, SF6 storage,...
