VESUVIO

This page collects information that will be useful for the implementation of the new control system on VESUVIO.

Background & Timeline

VESUVIO (previously known as EVS) is a long established instrument at ISIS, on TS1. The VESUVIO web page describes the background to the instrument. An image of VESUVIO is shown in ​this diagram.

Note: Pfeiffer

  1. [Model TPG 26x] (https://www.pfeiffer-vacuum.com/en/products/measurement/activeline/controllers/?detailPdoId=5724)

Note: McLennan

  1. The motors are set up in the following setup:

    1. MTR0101: Forward scattering foil, left

    2. MTR0102: Forward scattering foil, right

    3. MTR0201: Uranium foil

    4. MTR0202: Backward scattering foil

  2. The single axis McLennan (currently Uranium foil) may be used to control one of the following other devices at a time: Rotating centre-stick, EVS Rotating centre-stick, McLennan-Newport Rotation Stage, MAPS CCR, PRISMA Omega Centre Stick, etc

  3. The backward scattering foil is linked to hardware interlocks. If the cabin is open, the shutter can’t be moved. In these cases, it will report being at either an upper or lower limit.

Note: Oxford Instruments

  1. Dilution fridge: models to be determined.

Note: Eurotherm

Used to control temperature of top-loading CCRs, Furnace, Orange Cryostat devices, etc.

Note: Furnaces

Vesuvio uses RAL designed furnaces - RAL5, vanadium and niobium furnaces (see Furnaces).

These are controlled via a Eurotherm temperature controller.
