Towards Automated Operation of the Super-FRS — •Jan-Paul Alexander Hucka1,2, Stephane Pietri2, and Joachim Enders1 — 1TU Darmstadt, Institut für Kernphysik — 2GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung
For the upgrade of the GSI accelerators to the FAIR facility, a new control system is required to provide maximized parallelization and synchronicity of individual machines during operation.
Hence a framework from CERN, LSA [1], is being implemented and adapted to the needs of the GSI/FAIR facilities and its accelerators and beam transfers. The fragment separator FRS [2] and - at a later stage - also the superconducting fragment separator Super-FRS [3] at FAIR will be operated via LSA.
Current developments at the FRS towards an automated operation has shown to be successful as a proof of principle during the last engineering run. These developments encompass an automatic online setting generation by including energy-loss calculations for matter. It was shown that both primary beams of 40Ar and 238U as well as secondary fragment beams could be transported through the FRS without prior setting preparation.
Work supported by BMBF (05P19RDFN1) and through the TU Darmstadt-GSI cooperation contract.
