Plasma disruptions in Tokamaks are one of the threats to the secure operation of nuclear fusion devices. Disruptions are a sudden loss of plasma confinement. The disruptive events release large amounts of energy that impact the first wall components, affecting their integrity. This work presents the development of a disruption predictor implemented in the ITER Real-Time Framework (RTF). The...

Dmytro Levit (European XFEL GmbH)25/05/2026, 10:00Real Time Diagnostics, Digital Twin, Control, Monitoring, Safety and SecurityOral presentation
The European XFEL generates bursts of up to 2700 ultra-short x-ray flashes with a spacing of only 220 nanoseconds every 100 ms. These flashes are produced in the linear electron accelerator by undulators and guided 1 kilometer in vacuum pipes until they reach the scientific experiments. Accurate synchronization and the availability of information about all configurable pulses within a single...

This paper presents the design, implementation, and verification of ITER's Central Interlock System Critical Gateway (CIS-CG), a system for real-time emergency pulse termination. The CIS-CG serves as the critical interface coordinating protective actions among the Plasma Control System (PCS), the Advanced Protection System (APS) and the Central Interlock System (CIS), during fault...

The ePixUHR 35-kfps detector system addresses the need for ultra-high-rate x-ray imaging in next-generation FEL experiments by combining a modular 1-megapixel “SuperTile” detector architecture with an integrated real-time FPGA/GPU processing pipeline. Each SuperTile incorporates compact sensor/ASIC units and high-bandwidth front-end electronics capable of sustaining more than 80 Gb/s of...

High-speed data processing in DAQ systems using hardware accelerators is gaining traction to cope with the increasing intensity of accelerator beams. We are investigating the potential of implementing such accelerator devices for the DAQ system at the RIKEN RIBF. AMD’s Alveo series and Versal VCK5000 cards, which leverage FPGA and ACAP architectures, support PCI Express for seamless...

The ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) programme aims to resolve critical physics questions for ITER operation and the development of plasma scenarios for a future fusion reactor. While diagnostics are regularly upgraded to support these efforts, safety systems remain in place to protect the machine. As a pulsed device, each plasma discharge is valuable, making losses due to false positive interlock actions...

The ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) supports the development and validation of the neutral beam injection systems required for ITER. Its two major experiments, SPIDER and MITICA, operate complex infrastructures that demand reliable coordination across many distributed subsystems. Recent SPIDER campaigns, following the 2024 restart with caesium‑assisted operation, demonstrated...
