Abstract

At a synchrotron light source, control system forms an integral and essential part of almost every single subsystems. This special session focuses on recent development and advancement in control system and control instrumentation employed at a synchrotron light source, which encompasses the control systems for the accelerator complex, the beamlines, as well as the experimental stations. The topics related to accelerator control include the hardware infrastructure and specific software routines, for e.g. an orbit feedback system, a data logging system, and others. Regarding beamline control, development of control system both for common purposes such as beamline operation and for special purposes like mirror feedback system are of interest. This session also covers the topics related to experimental station control such as the development of a data acquisition system and control system of the experiment instruments.

Target Audience

All researchers, scientists and practitioners working in the field of synchrotron light source.
Authors submitting papers to this special session must follow the initial paper formatting requirements. All papers must be submitted by January 14, 2013.

Biographies of the Special Session Organizers

Prapong Klysubun received his B.Sc. (Hons) degree in physics from Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, in 1996, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Virginia Polytechnic and State University (Virginia Tech) in 1998 and 2002, respectively. After graduation, he started working as a researcher at Synchrotron Light Research Institute (formerly known as National Synchrotron Research Center). He is currently serving as an Assistant Director and the Director of Accelerator Technology Division of SLRI. His research interests include accelerator physics, particle beam dynamics, and applications of synchrotron radiation.

Supat Klinkhieo (B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D.) obtained his B.Sc. degree in telecommunication engineering at the Suranaree University of Technology (SUT), Thailand, in 1997, and the M.Sc. in electronic engineering at Hull University, UK, in 2006. In 2009 he was awarded his Ph.D. at Hull University for research on on-line estimation approaches to fault-tolerant control of uncertain systems. His research interests include networked control systems, distributed control systems, sliding mode control, robust fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control. He currently works as the Director of the Technical and Engineering Division at Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI), Thailand.
