Beam Halo Monitor Using Diamond Detectors for Xfel/spring-8

We have been developing an electron beam halo monitor as an interlock device for protection of undulator permanent magnets against radiation damage. When permanent magnets are irradiated with a halo part of 8GeV electron beam, magnetic fields undulators are degraded permanently and laser oscillation is weakened. Therefore, the interlock device is required during machine operation. Diamond detec...

SPring-8 beamline control system.

The SPring-8 beamline control system is now taking part in the control of the insertion device (ID), front end, beam transportation channel and all interlock systems of the beamline: it will supply a highly standardized environment of apparatus control for collaborative researchers. In particular, ID operation is very important in a third-generation synchrotron light source facility. It is also...

[SPring-8 structural biology beamline].

Nowadays, three-dimensional structure of protein becomes important to understanding and application of molecular mechanisms in enzyme reaction, signal transduction and other various biochemical processes. The amount of the information is now growing quantitatively and qualitatively, supported in part by the technical development of macromolecular crystallography. In the development, brilliant s...

Distributed Database in Spring-8

Distributed database system acts like NFS (Network File System) for database system. The system allows transparent access to databases running on other servers on the network. The SPring-8 database system has grown since the commissioning in 1997. A single database server becomes harder to handle new requirements like very fast data storage and data mining from huge sized archived data. Distrib...
