At SLAC, the LCLS physicists asked for a soft IOC to write physics parameters via their Matlab scripts. This has been wildly successful.

Subject: Controls & Physics
Learned Friends,
Accelerators and beamlines have associated with them some properties of the accelerated particles.
For example, a beamline will usually have a parameter for magnetic and/or electrostatic rigidity, but it might also have beam variables associated with it, such as the charge-to-mass ratio, or the precise mass of a heavy ion.
My question is this: To what extent are the physics parameters part of the controls?
Should there be channels like "Separator:BeamMass," for example?
My feeling is that the beam, as it were, should be part of the control system from the beginning, but I don't have much to back this up.
What do you think?
Cheers,
-Mathias
