Software Applications Used at the REX/HIE-ISOLDE Linac

Le résumé fourni par la source

The HIE-ISOLDE Linac (High Intensity and Energy) is a recent upgrade to the ISOLDE facility of CERN, increasing the maximum beam energy and providing means to explore more scientific opportunities. The main software tools required to set up the new superconducting post-accelerator and to characterise the beam provided to the experimental stations will be presented in this paper. Emphasis will be given to the suite of applications to control all beam instrumentation equipment which are more complex compared to the ones in the low energy part of ISOLDE. A variety of devices are used (Faraday cups, collimators, scanning slits, striping foils and silicon detectors). Each serves its own purpose and provides different information concerning the beam characteristics. Every group of devices required a specific approach to be programmed.
