Preset status of the synchrotron at WERC

The accelerator complex at The Wakasa Wan Energy Research Center (WERC) consists of a 5 MV Schenckel type tandem accelerator and a 200 MeV proton synchrotron. Using this system, the element analysis, medical, biological and material sciences are performed. In the 2020 fiscal year of the period from April 1, 2020 to January 29, 2021, experiment time amounted to 1468.8 hours. The percentage of experiment time using the synchrotron was ∼51.5%. From April to May 2020, some experiments were canceled due to the state of emergency measures taken against COVID-19. The experimental time was reduced from 2019. Also, we report development progress of a new LLRF control system. The new system utilizes FPGA and MicroTCA.4. The off-beam commissioning is in under progress. Improvement of a BPM signal processing circuit is progressing. The AM/PM converter utilized to obtain beam positions, of which outputs depend on input signal level. It will be presented the development status of an amplifier to make input signal level to the AM/PM converter constant. (author)
