The ever-expanding size of accelerator operation and experimental data including those generated by electron microscopes and beamline facilities renders most proprietary software inefficient at managing data. The Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse (FAIR) principles of digital assets require a convenient platform for users to share and manage data on. An open-source data framework for storing raw data and metadata, hosting databases, and providing a platform for data processing and visualization is highly desirable. In this paper, we present an open-source, infrastructure-independent data management software framework, named by Euclid-NexusLIMS, to archive, register, record, visualize and process experimental data. The software was targeted initially for electron microscopes, but can be widely applied to all scientific experimental data.

Modern linear particle accelerators use superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities for achieving extremely high-quality factors (Q) and higher beam stability. The assembly process of the system, although with a much more stringent cleanness requirement, is very similar to the ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) system operation procedure. Humans, who are conventionally the operators in this procedure, can only avoid contaminating the system by wearing proper sterile personal protection equipment to avoid direct skin contact with the systems, or dropping particulates. However, humans unavoidably make unintentional mistakes that can contaminate the environment: cross contamination of the coverall suits during wearing, slippage of masks or goggles, damaged gloves, and so forth. Besides, humans are limited when operating heavy weights, which may lead to incorrect procedures, or even worse, injury. In this paper, we present our recent work on a viable and cost-effective machine automation system composed of a robotic arm and a computer vision system for the assembly process in a cleanroom environment, for example for SRF string assemblies, and more.

Photocathodes of various materials are used in photoinjectors for generating photoelectron beams. Of particular interest are the alkali antimonides because of their ultra-high quantum efficiency (QE) and relatively low requirements for growth, and metallic materials such as Cu and Mg which have lower QE but are easier to maintain and have longer lifetime. The biggest challenge of using the alkali antimonide photocathode is that it has an extremely stringent requirement on vacuum and is destroyed rapidly by residual air in the system, while exposure of Mg and Cu in air also impacts the photocathode performance because of the oxidation. The photocathode can be protected against harmful gas molecules by using one or two monolayers of a 2D material such as graphene or hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Furthermore, hBN monolayers even have the potential to improve the QE of the photocathode when working as the encapsulation thin-film. In this paper, we will discuss the feasibility of coating a photocathode with hBN by high power pulsed RF sputtering by using metallic photocathodes as examples, and compare the performance with encapsulated photocathodes with transferred hBN thin-films.
