The ESS Linac The European Spallation Source (ESS) will house the most powerful proton linac ever built: Average beam power of 5 MW. Peak beam power of 125 MW Acceleration to 2 GeV Peak proton beam current of 62.5 ma Pulse length of 2.86 ms at a rate of 14 Hz (4% duty factor) 97% of the acceleration is provided by superconducting cavities. The linac will require over 150 individual high power RF sources: With 80% of the RF power sources requiring over 1.1 MW of peak RF power. Expect to cost over 200 M on the RF system alone! 2

ESS Integrated Control System The ESS Control System is a complex network of hardware, software, and configuration databases that integrate the operations of the Accelerator, Target, Instruments and Conventional Facility infrastructure. Hardware platforms MicroTCA High performance applications such as fast signal processing EtherCAT Distributed, khz range acquisition PLC Low-end I/O, interlocking, etc. Software EPICS Used for control of the entire facility(some offline use of LabVIEW) CS-Studio Generic user interface tool (GUI, Alarms, Archiving) DISCS Distributed Services for Controls (databases, configuration, ) 20 20/
ESS Control System Work Packages The ESS Cost Book lists 39 separate control system work packages, 30 of which include provision for a significant In-Kind contribution. In addition, many other technical work packages either include a requirement for a control system interface or are interested in adding this as an option. The main areas covered are: Application software Development of application, frameworks and toolkits Core Software Databases, software tools and services Core Hardware Development of timing system and control boxes Equipment Supply of computer/electronics hardware Infrastructure Control room, data centre and network equipment Integration Support Integration of Accelerator, Target and Conventional Facilities 21 21/
