Major Projects Victoria Selects Concurrent's iHawk-Based Control Systems for The Australian Synchrotron Project: "The main application control software specified by the ASP is the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS), which is an open-source set of software tools, libraries and applications developed collaboratively by scientific organizations around the world and used to create distributed real-time control systems for scientific instruments such as particle accelerators, telescopes and other large scientific equipment."
"A synchrotron is a powerful machine (about the size of a football field), which uses beams of light a million times brighter than sunlight to probe the physical structure of materials down to the level of atoms and molecules. Synchrotrons are essential tools for research and development in many industries, including: biotechnology and drug design; advanced manufacturing; and medical research and diagnosis; as well as meeting requirements for the Australian Defence Force to extend the life of engine components and provide improved ceramic coatings in military jet engines. The Australian synchrotron will act as an essential new tool for groundbreaking scientific and industrial research."
