On the Way to Maturity—The CLEO Ⅲ Data Acquisition and Control System

For more than one year the CLEOⅢ experiment at the Cornell electron positron storage ring CESR has accumulated Physics data using a 4 layer silicon vertex detector and a novel ring image Cherenkov detector,along with a conventional Driftchamber ,E.M.calorimeter and muon chambers.By the time of CHEP 2001 the experiment has accumulated 10 fb^-1 of data,The readout and monitoring systems control,ca.400000 electronic channels.Detector configuration.data quality and component monitoring,run control are only some of the Slow Control tasks that have to be performed. Deploying industry standards such as CORBA(inter-platform communication)Java (remote access via Web browser)and Objectivity(event and constants databse) as building blocks of the computer network has been of central importance.Object oriented design has enabled the seamless integration of the many individual components.In our presentation we will describe experiences with this distributed control system and give a report of the measures taken to obtain a high system availability.     

A Two-Photon Femtosecond Laser System for Three-Dimensional Microfabrication and Data Storage

Utilizing the well-focused femtosecond laser with extreme high pulse intensity, we built a two-photon micro-fabrication and data storage system, which was introduced through several functional parts. Based on this homemade system, several three-dimensional microstructures were fabricated by two-photon polymerization, and three-dimensional data storage of six-layers was achieved by two-photon excitation with a photochromic material.     

Present Status and Future Development of HL-2A Data Acquisition System

HL-2A data acquisition system (DAS) was developed and used in engineering tests last year. The main parts of the system include the experiment network, the data acquisition and processing mechanisms, and the graph and character display equipments.     

Recent Development in Data Processing and Control Research on the HL-2A ＆ HL-2M Tokamak

In 2006, except the basic improvement on HL-2A tokamak control system, data acquisition and processing system, a series of research activities have been developed in computer and control division. They include the construction of the high performance computer （HPC） system, the plasma configuration real-time reconstruction with EFIT code, the immigration of plasma simulation codes, the improvement of the poloidal field control system with circulating current, the design of the new data acquiring device with higher anti-disturbing power, the new software on soft X-ray spectrum measurement providing the multi-channel Te evolution, the upgrade to the HL-2A data storage system and experimental net. On the other hand, according to the arrangement of HL-2A modification project, a series of designs such as new plasma configuration, poloidal field coils distribution and plasma shape and position control system are on the processing.     

A General Response System Control Method Based on Backstepping Design for Synchronization of Continuous Scalar Chaotic Signal

A general response system control method for synchronization of continuous scalar chaotic signal is presented. The proposed canonical genera/response system can cover most of the well-known chaotic systems. Conversely, each of these chaotic systems can Mso be used to construct the genera/response system. Furthermore, a novel controller of the proposed response system is designed based on backstepping technique, with which the output of the genera/response system and the given continuous chaotic signal can synchronize perfectly. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.     

Theoretical Calculations of Strain—Induced Splittings and／or Shifts of t2^32E and t2^34A2 Levels for MgO：Cr^3＋

Under various uniaxial stresses, both strains with low symmetry and isotropic strains of crystals take place. The former gives the strain-induced low-symmetry crystal fields and accordingly splittings of levels; the latter gives the isotropic parts of strain-induced crystal fields and accordingly shifts of levels. By using the wavefunctions obtained from the diagonalization of the complete d^3$ energy matrix in a regular octahedral field, the relevant matrix elements and accordingly strain-induced splittings and/or shifts of t₂³²E and t₂³⁴A₂ for MgO:Cr³⁺ have been calculated. Their physical origins have been thoroughly analyzed and revealed. It is the admixtures of basic wavefunctions resulted from the spin-orbit interaction and/or Coulomb interaction and/or Kramers degeneracy that make strain-induced splittings of levels nonzero. In contrast with this, strain-induced shifts come mainly from the zero-order approximate wavefunctions. It is found that there are nonvanishing matrix elements of operators T₂ξ, T₂η and T₂ζ between wavefunctions with positive M_s and those with negative M_s', which have important effects on strain-induced splittings of levels. The shifts of t₂³²E under both hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial pressure have been uniformly calculated. The important results of Y_c, Z_c, P_c, Q_c and 〈t₂|| C(A₁)|| t₂〉have been evaluated.
