Research Data Management and Measurement Framework at KIT-ALFA (KARA & FLUTE)

• Patrick Schreiber
• Saeid Masoumi (KIT (IBPT))

Room: Seminar room In this talk, we present two frameworks used for Research Data Management and Measurement at KIT-ALFA (KARA & FLUTE) within the framework of Service Improvements in the EURO-LABS project at the Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). For Research Data Management, we successfully deployed and operationalized Kadi4Mat, an open-source virtual research environment. The project established a self-hosted, scalable, and FAIR-compliant infrastructure tailored to the research data management requirements of accelerator and beam physics. Two independent Kadi4Mat instances have now been deployed and are in productive operation at IBPT. The first instance is intended for internal institutional use and supports collaborative research, data organization, and long-term data management for researchers at KIT. The second instance provides external users with read-only access to research data, enabling secure and controlled dissemination of scientific results beyond the institution. Many measurements in accelerator physics require dedicated parameter scans and are typically implemented as scripts. For reusability and maintainability, however, integration into the EPICS control system is preferred. This approach provides multiple benefits, such as easy archiving of results in a central database and integration of measurements into standard operator panels. To enable non-expert staff and students to easily develop measurements exposed via the EPICS control system, we have developed a Python framework to implement such measurement routines as EPICS Input/Output Controllers (IOCs). This framework allows an author to focus on the measurement itself while still benefiting from EPICS integration, without requiring extensive knowledge of EPICS IOC development.

Synchrotron radiation based material and vacuum component qualification studies for the Future Circular Collider in the Beam Screen Test Bench Experiment at KARA

• Marcel Himmerlich (CERN)

Room: Seminar room The design, development, and upgrade of vacuum components for current and future particle accelerators requires a thorough qualification of all dynamic processes that lead to pressure increments during beam operation. Knowing the amount of deposited energy on the vacuum materials that needs to be extracted by the cooling system, and the related thermal material surface effects, is essential. In addition, especially electron-, ion- and photon-induced desorption and emission of secondary particles processes require to be quantitatively understood to model potential pressure loads to the vacuum system and to properly design the required pumping equipment and interlock system. The mentioned phenomena must be characterised experimentally at conditions that are close to the operational ones. The beam screen test bench experiment (BESTEX) setup at KARA contributes one ingredient for the development of new vacuum designs for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) and the selection of best suited materials and functional surface treatments: exploration of photon-induced processes. I will summarise the past activities of photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) studies for the FCC-hh beam screens as well as measurements of different surface functionalisation. Furthermore, the technical challenges and solutions for the fabrication of FCC-ee prototype chambers will be described together with a description of the requirements and plan of future PSD measurements for FCC-ee relevant conditions. Finally, the adaption of the experimental setup to allow for photoelectron yield (PEY) measurements will be described.
