Design Choices for the Cryogenic Current Comparator for FAIR
13th International Beam Instrumentation Conference, IBIC2024, BeijingBeijing, Peoples R China, 9 Sep 2024 - 13 Sep 20242024-09-092024-09-13 JACoW Publishing 487 - 491 () [10.18429/JACOW-IBIC2024-THP03]
The Cryogenic Current Comparator (CCC) is a superconducting SQUID-based device, which measures extremely low electrical currents via their azimuthal magnetic field. Triggered by the need for nA current measurement of slow extracted beams and weak beams of exotic ions in the storage rings at FAIR and CERN, the idea of the CCC as a diagnostics instrument has been revitalized during the last ten years.

Detailed bench investigations and comparison of four low-light cameras
13th International Beam Instrumentation Conference, IBIC2024, BeijingBeijing, Peoples R China, 9 Sep 2024 - 13 Sep 20242024-09-092024-09-13 Geneva, Switzerland : JACoW Publishing 331 - 335 () [10.18429/JACOW-IBIC2024-WEP30]
Sensitive cameras are frequently operated to record low-light processes such as Beam Induced Fluorescence or optical transition radiation for transverse profile determination. We compared four cameras based on different principles: Firstly, we investigated an Image Intensifier equipped with a double MCP (producer ProxiVision); secondly, an electron-multiplied CCD (emCCD Teledyne Princeton Instruments ProEm+:512B); and, thirdly, sCMOS cameras (producer PCO.edge4.2bi and Teledyne Kinetix 22).

Vacuum design of the Super-FRS at FAIR
19th International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems, IPAC2023, VeniceVenice, Italy, 7 May 2023 - 12 May 20232023-05-072023-05-12 Geneva, Switzerland : JACoW Publishing 4287 - 4290 () [10.18429/JACOW-IPAC2023-THPA140]
The large-acceptance Superconducting Fragment Separator (Super-FRS) at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI Darmstadt poses peculiar challenges for its vacuum systems. Although the vacuum levels ranging from 1E-5 to 1E-7 mbar for the single-pass beamline are rather undemanding in absolute values, a combination of high level of prompt and residual radiation in the target and pre-separator area, highly outgassing and self-sealing inserts, and large volumes not usually encountered in accelerator systems are setting exceptional demands on the design of the vacuum systems.

In the last beam times, operations reported a lack of performance and long waiting times when performing simple changes of the machines’ settings. To ensure performant operation of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), the 'Task Force Performance' (TFP) was formed in mid-2020, which aimed at optimizing all involved Control System components.

Formal verification techniques are widely used in critical industries to minimize software flaws. However, despite the benefits and recommendations of the functional safety standards, such as IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, formal verification is not yet a common practice in the process industry and large scientific installations.
