CourseControl of distributed devices for largesystems

Credit1

Content of Subject

EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial
Control System) is a toolkit to monitor andcontrol many devices, which are distributed over awide area.
At the beginning, EPICS was developed and usedin an accelerator community.
For example, KEK introduced EPICS into
SuperKEKB and J-PARC accelerators.
In addition, EPICS has been introduced in nonaccelerator fields: telescopes, laserinterferometers for gravitational-wave detections,and nuclear fusion facilities.
Nowadays developments and maintenances of
EPICS have been continued under a world-widecollaboration.
In the class, introduction of EPICS will be given,
followed by hands-on lessons with a tiny
computer (Raspberry Pi). Students, who are
expected to have knowledge of basic Linuxcommands, will study basic functions of EPICS byimplementing EPICS and controlling remote I/O
signals.

CreditContent of Subject

2In addition to the lecture on magnetic circuits,
which are the basis of the magnet, theiraccelerator applications, and fabrication
techniques, this course gives the lecture on powerelectronics circuits for magnet power supplies,
which are the source of magnetic field generation.
Finally, through practical training to learn themagnet system, this course aims at theacquisition of magnetic field measurement
techniques to evaluate magnet performance, aswell as alignment techniques.

The course aims to encourage learners tounderstand the fundamental concept of computerarchitecture and network communication. Learners
will also study programming principles through thecomputational simulation/calculation program,which is required particularly for highenergy/nuclear physics. Two or more lecturers
help learners with hands-on lessons throughout
the course.

Characteristics of various types of radiation(charged particles, photons, neutrons) and theirinteractions with matter. An introductorytreatment of detection and measurement forradiation generating in accelerators which,nevertheless, extends to a detailed account ofdetector types, properties and functions.

2Basic concepts, instruments, and characteristics
of surface analysis techniques using
electromagnetic waves and/or charged particles
will be presented with their materials applications.

2This course covers the principles of beam
instrumentation, mainly using electrical method
ranging from DC to the RF region. In the beginning,
we emphasize signal processing techniques to beable to handle the beam signal in both time domain
and frequency domain. Next, we study microwave
engineering essentials which will be needed tounderstand real beam monitors. After studying
the theory of the techniques, the principles ofbeam instrumentation widely used in circular
accelerators will be reviewed by showing real
beam monitors in accelerators at KEK.
