100/0-A015 - Salle A015 (IJCLab)
Description
The Illinois Accelerator Research Center (IARC) at Fermilab is developing a compact, high-power, conduction-cooled Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) accelerator for industrial applications. This accelerator, which operates at 650 MHz and 1.6 MeV with 20 kW of power, uses conduction cooling to simplify cryogenic needs, making it more practical for industrial use.
The control system is built on the Blinky-Lite platform, which was selected for its open-source architecture, secure remote access, and operational flexibility. These features are crucial for both industrial deployment and long-term operation. This presentation will detail the full-stack architecture of Blinky-Lite and its use in controlling Fermilab's compact SRF accelerator, with a focus on its cryogenic control and novel compact low-level Rf system-on-chip (SoC).
Speaker:
Dr. David McGinnis is the architect of the Blinky-Lite system. He has more than 35 years of experience with radio frequency systems and operations for particle accelerators. He has worked at several institutes, including Fermilab, the European Spallation Source, and the MaxIV Synchrotron Light source.
