Description
The Variable Energy Gamma (VEGA) System, currently under construction at Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP), is a storage ring-based gamma source that aims to provide users with gamma-ray beams spanning a variable energy range from 1 MeV to 19.5 MeV. The control system of VEGA is designed to be an EPICS-based distributed system, which contains subsystems for the control of vacuum, cooling, magnets, interlocks, etc. This will include an alarm system for important events. This presentation will introduce the integration of Mydax 3MP34W chillers for cooling, QPC Ion pump controllers for vacuum, and radiation detectors for personal protection subsystems. Devices for the subsystems have been integrated into the EPICS Input / Output Controllers (IOCs), while the Operator Interfaces (OPIs) have been designed using Python and Qt Designer.
