Therefore, software implementations must include elements of both data acquisition and real-time controls. The architecture of the quench management software developed at Fermilab's Magnet Test Facility is described. This system consists of quench detection, quench protection, and quench characterization components that execute concurrently in a distributed system. Collaboration between the elements of quench detection, quench characterization and current control are discussed, together with a schema of distributed saving of various quench-related data. Solutions to synchronization and reliability in such a distributed quench system are also presented.","PeriodicalId":313758,"journal":{"name":"PACS2001.

The laser beam was focused using a 30 cm focal length f/6 off-axis parabola on a gas plume produced by a high pressure pulsed gas jet. Electrons were trapped and accelerated by high gradient wakefields. excited in the ionized gas through the self-modulated laser wakefield instability. The electron beam was measured to contain in excess of 5 nC/bunch. A composite Pb/Cu target was used to convert the electron beam into /spl gamma/-rays which subsequently produced radio-isotopes through (/spl gamma/,n) reactions. Isotope identification through /spl gamma/-ray spectroscopy and half-life time measurements demonstrated that /sup 61/Cu was produced which indicates that 20-25 MeV /spl gamma/-rays were produced, and hence electrons with energies greater than 25-30 MeV. The production of high energy electrons was independently confirmed using a bending magnet spectrometer. The measured spectra had an exponential distribution with a 3 MeV width. The amount of activation was on the order of 2.5 /spl mu/Ci after 3 hours of operation at 1 Hz. Future experiments will aim at increasing this yield by post-accelerating the electron beam using a channel guided laser wakefield accelerator.","PeriodicalId":313758,"journal":{"name":"PACS2001.

This library provides authors of new simulation codes with a simple means of adding XSIF compatibility to their programs, and also permits users to add their own features to the parser with relative ease. As examples we describe the manner in which the linear accelerator code LIAR was modified to use LIBXSIF, and changes made to DIMAD to switch from its internal Standard Input Format parser to use of the external XSIF parser.
