Abstract:
The room-temperature front-end accelerator is the critical beam injector for the CiADS (China Initiative Accelerator Driven System) superconducting linear. During beam commissioning, the low-energy beams are significantly affected by space charge effects and high-frequency nonlinearities, making the beam quality of the front-end accelerator a decisive factor for the overall performance of CiADS. This work presents a real-time beam signal data acquisition and display system based on the ZYNQ embedded platform for the room-temperature front-end accelerator. The platform employs an external ADC acquisition board to capture real-time beam data converted from multiple detectors with the ZYNQ platform responsible for online data processing and network transmission. The data upload function is realized by integrating the EPICS network transmission IOC software into the embedded operating system. Field test results verify that the system can reliably acquire beam signal data, and provide graphical visualization and parameter control of internal/external trigger modes via a host computer interface. Featuring high integration, real-time response, and accurate data acquisition, this system provides crucial data support and technical guarantees for subsequent beam physics experiments and beam diagnostics in CiADS.
