HEST/Controls
Introduction
Since 2018 HEST is controlled by LSA. Controls wiki (internal):

Logically HEST is divided into segments (particle transfers). Typically a segment starts after one switching dipole and ends after the next switching dipole.
Definitions
- Particle Transfer is a group of devices with the timing (the same timing zone). Typically they extend between two switching dipoles, they include upstream dipole.
- Accelerator Zone is a sub-section of Particle Transfer, with additional division in the location of a stripper or internal target.
- Beam process -
- Beam pattern
- Beam Production Chain (BPC)
