Data acquisition and facility control systems
- Charlotte Palmer (Queen's University Belfast)
Scientists use the LCLS X-Ray free electron laser to take crisp pictures of atomic motions, watch chemical reactions unfold, probe the properties of materials and explore fundamental processes in living things. In the fall of 2022 the LCLS-II superconducting linac will be commissioned and the X-Ray shot rate will increase from 120Hz to 1MHz. Correspondingly, the raw data volume will increase...
The PALLAS project aims to develop an laser-plasma injector (LPI) prototype delivering 150-200 MeV, 10-50 pC, 1 mm.mrad, at 10 Hz with reliability and control performance at the level of conventional RF accelerator. The LPI is driven by the 40 TW laser of the Université Paris-Saclay [LaseriX...
The control, management and analysis of data arising from laser-plasma experiments are key issues that, when well addressed, enable rapid insights into underlying physics and time-critical decision making for a given investigation. This issue now demands more attention if we are to take full advantage of developments in high-repetition rate, high-power laser technology.
Over the past...
Gemini, at the Central Laser Facility, provides access for academic and industrial users to perform a variety of cutting-edge experiments. As well as two beams, each with 12 J in 40 fs, we provide mechanical and electrical services to support experiments. These now include systems to support data acquisition, analysis, and storage, as well as experiment control. This has allowed us to conduct...
