261. Distributed Real-time control software at ITER

Dr Axel Winter (ITER Organization)

09/06/2016, 08:30

Real Time System Architectures and Intelligent Signal Processing

Oral presentation

This paper will provide an overview of the various real-time software processes which are distributed across ITER. This begins with the software processing done at a diagnostic level to process the initially acquired data and produce a meaningful signal for plasma control, which is typically a physics measurement (e.g. the plasma current). These signals are used -among many others- in central...

36. Plasma current and shape control for ITER using fast online MPC

Dr Samo Gerksic (Jozef Stefan Institute)

Control, Monitoring,Test and Real Time Diagnostics Systems

Oral presentation

In a magnetically confined tokamak reactor, the Plasma Current and Shape Controller (PCSC) is the component of Plasma Magnetic Control (PMC) that commands the voltages applied to the poloidal field coils, to control the coil currents and the plasma parameters, such as the plasma shape, current, and position. The PCSC acts on the system pre-stabilised by the Vertical Stabilisation controller,...

151. Image acquisition and GPU processing application using IRIO technology and FlexRIO devices

Data Acquisition

Oral presentation

The large amount of data generated by image diagnostics used in big physics experiments requires an efficient use of hardware technologies in real time data acquisition and processing applications. In order to get the best performance of the hardware, it is necessary to provide the hardware and software tools that enable a fast and easy way to deployment these kind of solutions. IRIO...

144. The Readout and Data Acquisition Design of the sPHENIX Detector at RHIC

Martin L. Purschke (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

Data Acquisition

Oral presentation

The recently established sPHENIX Collaboration at RHIC is upgrading the PHENIX detector in a way that will enable a comprehensive measurement of jets in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The upgrade will give the experiment full azimuthal coverage within a pseudorapidity range of $-1.1<\eta <1.1$. In addition to measuring heavy-ion collisions, the new apparatus will provide enhanced...

139. The NA62 GigaTracker Detector

Alberto Gianoli (Universita di Ferrara & INFN (IT))

09/06/2016, 10:00

Oral presentation

The GigaTracker (GTK) system is a magnetic spectrometer made of 3 detector stations and 4 achromat magnets for the NA62 experiment. NA62 aims to measure the branching ratio of the ultra-rare $K^{\pm }\to {\pi }^{+}\nu \overline{\nu }$ at the CERN SPS. The detector measures the momentum, direction and crossing time of all the secondary beam charged particles. The detector has to cope with a...
