The ESRF made digital twin EBSS, the EBS control system simulator, was an essential tool for the fast commissioning of the ESRF-EBS machine. In the framework of the SOLEIL II upgrade project, and with the help of ESRF team, the EBSS code was adapted for the SOLEIL II lattice to provide an easy way to test new concepts which will be used to prepare the commissioning of SOLEIL II.

The compact linear accelerator for research and applications (CLARA) is a 250 MeV ultrabright electron beam test facility at STFC Daresbury Laboratory. A user beamline has been designed to maximize the exploitation of CLARA in a variety of fields, including novel acceleration and new modalities of radiotherapy. The creation of high-level software for daily operation and user experiments has...

The integration of machine learning (ML) into control systems is a key point of interest in the field of accelerator operation. We will present the application of ML in accelerator operations at the SOLARIS synchrotron. We tested ML interfaces based on TensorFlow, XGBboost and pyTorch utilizing multicore and GPU for computation speed up. At the current stage we focus on several areas of...

At Diamond, many Python high-level applications interact with the accelerator (e.g., orbit feedback systems, BBA, etc.). Most use PyTAC (Python Toolkit for Accelerator Control) to interact with the machine.

We also have ATIP (Accelerator Toolbox Interface for Pytac). This allows users to interact with a PyAT simulation through PyTAC in the same way they would use the real machine.

With the ramp-up of LCLS-II operations, the development of new high-level application tools and the modernizing of existing MATLAB software remain critical priorities. An ongoing initiative focuses on creating Python-based tools to streamline workflows and provide a robust set of reusable building block functions for accelerator applications. These tools are designed to simplify the...

The python control tools developed by the Brazilian light source (SIRIUS) were presented at the first Accelerator Middle Layer workshop (https://indico.desy.de/event/43233/).

This tool is presently the only python middle layer in operation at a storage ring light sources and therefore represents an excellent baseline for any future similar development.

It was therefore decided to...
