The EuAPS betatron radiation source control system
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: EuAPS (EuPRAXIA Advanced Photon Source) is a project carried out in the EuPRAXIA context and financed by the Italian Ministry in the Recovery Europe plan framework. A new advanced betatron radiation source, obtained by exploiting plasma LWFA, is currently being realized at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN in Italy and will be operated as user facility. Several elements of EuAPS are remotely controlled, such as laser diagnostic devices, motors and vacuum system components. In order to efficiently run the facility, the realization of a robust and performing control system is crucial. The EuAPS control system is based on EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) open-source software framework. Functional safety systems such as Machine Protection System (MPS) and Personnel Safety System (PSS) in accordance with IEC-61508 standards are also integrated for interlocks control, anomalies monitoring and for protecting the personnel from hazardous areas. In this contribution, details on how the EuAPS control system has been projected and realized will be provided.
