Application of EPICS Software in Linear Accelerator

The institute of modern physics (IMP) has two sets of linear accelerator facilities, they are CAFe (China ADS front-end demo linac) and LEAF (Low Energy Accelerator Facility). The Main equipment of LEAF facility consists of ion source, LEBT (Low Energy Beam Transport), RFQ (Radio Frequency Quadrupole) and some experiment terminals. Compare with LEAF, CAFe equipment has more and adds MEBT (Middle Energy Beam Transport) and four sets of superconducting cavity strings at the back end of RFQ. In the process of commissioning and running linac equipment, The EPICS Archiver application and Alarm system are used. According to the refined control requirements of the facility sites, we have completed the software upgrade and deployment of the archiver and alarm systems. The upgraded software systems have made the operation of linac machines more effective in term of monitoring, fault-diagnostic and system recovery, and becomes more user-friendly as well.
