Beam diagnostics control system upgrade of IPM LINAC
399
A series of upgrades has now begun to industrialize the applications of the experimental IPM electron LINAC. This includes upgrading the control system of the diagnostics tools and adding new tools and equipment to the system as well. The aim is to build an integrated control system to collect and manage all diagnostics signals. This will allow us to continuously monitor and archive all of the beam parameters for LINAC performance analysis and improvement. It is hence decided to migrate from LabVIEW to an EPICS-based control system which has many advantages in this regard. In the meantime, it is also required to employ more modern equipment with better control interfaces and add some extra diagnostics tools to the system as well. So during this upgrade, most of the job would be developing new control interfaces and high-level applications accordingly. In this paper, after a brief summary of the current diagnostics tools and our motivation for this upgrade, the scheme of the new control system and how different parts are integrated to the EPICS framework will be described.

Beam profile monitoring using incoherent Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation and scintillating screens at ILSF
403
The Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) plays a crucial role in advancing accelerator science and applications. In this study, we explore innovative techniques for precise beam profile monitoring, focusing on two complementary methods: Incoherent Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR) and scintillating screens. Incoherent ChDR occurs when a charged particle passes through a dielectric medium with a velocity exceeding the phase velocity of light in that medium. This phenomenon leads to the emission of electromagnetic radiation in the form of a cone. Our investigation focuses on incoherent ChDR as a powerful tool for beam position diagnostics. By analyzing the angular distribution of ChDR photons, we extract valuable information about the transverse position of the electron bunch. Our simulations demonstrate the feasibility of ChDR-based diagnostics at ILSF. We discuss optimal radiator materials, geometries, and detection strategies. in addition, We also present our findings on scintillating screen calibration, spatial resolution, and dynamic range. We believe that our research significantly contributes to the development of robust and efficient beam diagnostics at the storage ring of ILSF. By investigating Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR) and utilizing radiation from scintillating screens, we enhance accelerator performance and facilitate future experiments.
