The major challenge to improve deterministic single ion sources is to control the position and momentum of each ion. Based on the extra information given by the electron created in a photoionization process, the trajectory of the correlated ion can be controlled using a fast real time feedback system. In this paper, we report on a proof-of-principle experiment that demonstrates the performances of this feedback control with individual cesium ions. The produced electron is detected with a time and position sensitive detector, whose information are used to quickly infer the position of the corresponding ion. Then the feedback system drives the ion trajectory through steering plates. Individual ion can thus be send to any dedicated location. This enables us to perform deterministic patterning and reach a factor 1000 improvement in spot area. The single ion feedback control is versatile and can be applied to different kind of ion sources. It provides a powerful tool to optimize the ion beam and offers new area for quantum systems and applications of materials science.

Real-time control systems often require dedicated hardware and software, including real-time operating systems, while many systems are available for off-line computing, mainly based on standard system units (PCs), standard network connections (Ethern et), standard operating systems (Linux) and software independent from the particular architecture of the single unit. In order to try to get the advantages of both the technologies, we built an hybrid control system prototype using network based parallel computing architecture within real-time control system. In this paper we describe the architecture of the implemented system, the preliminary tests we performed for its characterization and the architecture of the control system we used for the real-time control tests.
In this work we present simulation results for a modular tritium in-water real-time monitor. The system allows for scalability in order to achieve the required sensitivity. The modules are composed by 340 uncladed scintillating fibers immersed in wat er and 2 photosensors for light readout. Light yield and Birks coefficient uncertainties for low energy beta particles is discussed. A study of the detection efficiency according to the fiber length is presented. Discussion on the system requirements and background mitigation for a device with sensitivity of 100,Bq/L, required to comply with the European directive 2013/51/Euratom, is presented. Due to the low energetic beta emission from tritium a detection efficiency close to 3.3% was calculated for a single 2,mm round fiber.
The AGILE (Advanced enerGetic Ion eLectron tElescope) project focuses on the development of a compact low-cost space-based instrument to measure the intensities of charged particles and ions in space. Using multiple layers of fast silicon sensors and custom front-end electronics, the instrument is designed for real-time particle identification of a large variety of elements from H to Fe and spanning energies from 1 to 100 MeV per nucleon. The robust method proposed in this work uses key defining features of electronic signals generated by charged particles (ions) traveling through silicon layers to reliably identify and characterize particles in situ. AGILE will use this real-time pulse shape discrimination technique for the first time in space based instrumentation.
The Advanced LIGO detectors are sophisticated opto-mechanical devices. At the core of their operation is feedback control. The Advanced LIGO project developed a custom digital control and data acquisition system to handle the unique needs of this new breed of astronomical detector. The advligorts is the software component of this system. This highly modular and extensible system has enabled the unprecedented performance of the LIGO instruments, and has been a vital component in the direct detection of gravitational waves.

An off-line ion source station has been commissioned at the IGISOL (Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line) facility. It offers the infrastructure needed to produce stable ion beams from three off-line ion sources in parallel with the radioactive ion be ams produced from the IGISOL target chamber. This has resulted in improved feasibility for new experiments by offering reference ions for Penning-trap mass measurements, laser spectroscopy and atom trap experiments.
