1. MICE RF & Controls Paul Drumm

2. RF Layout 2 MW Amplifier Master Oscillator Controls etc 201 MHz Cavity Module 2 MW Amplifier 201 MHz Cavity Module CERN 300 kW Amplifier HT Supplies Los Alamos HT Supplies ASTeC 2 MW Amplifier LBNL

3. Status LBNL: –Two “4MW” + three “300kW” systems shipped to DL –Strip down and rebuild as a test stand CERN: –Two “3MW” systems available at CERN –Request to CERN to refurbish DL/RAL: –New B4616 tubes (1 working LBNL tube) –New TH116 tube bases (purchase in time) –New kW power supplies (Dressler)

4. Progress almost finished: –HV System for 4616 amplifier –Auxiliary systems (heaters, source etc) –Couplers, loads, heaters, plc

5. Plans, timescales Power from 300kW circuit in September ’06 Start work on 116 circuits – power towards end of 2007 – completed test stand. CERN Circuits available end ’07? –Incorporate in test stand

6. Controls & Monitoring Workshop in September ’05 – choice of EPICS Equipment survey: Integrated IOC devices integrate simple interfaces with a linux machine Suitable for small control systems Suitable for beginners

7. ADCs, DACs, DIO, opto-isolated CanBus, ethernet, GPIB, RS232

8. Initial applications: –Target –Hydrogen system Hands on workshop for RAL/Sheffield groups at DL in a couple of weeks –Learning and demonstration systems

9. Plans Lots of available generic hardware solutions Lots of available software –Hardware drivers –System (monitoring, alarms, displays) –Design tools (GUI generators) Specification documents –Hardware (loose) –EPICS database records; –Naming convention (e.g. BLN-VAC-PUMP-04 )

10. Next step Questions from instrumentation – DAQ || –How is it implemented:  what does the software look like?  how is the DAQ & Controls integrated Software/hardware level  workshop to discuss details – Propose September in DL
