Description
This talk will present an overview of the ongoing and future Low-Level RF (LLRF) activities at CERN, addressing the growing challenges of hardware obsolescence, support for legacy systems, and the need for long-term consolidation across the accelerator infrastructure. Major ongoing projects, such as the development of the Crab Cavity controller with beam noise feedback for the High Luminosity LHC, the LLRF system for AWAKE Run 2c, and ongoing efforts in supporting superconducting RF cavity testing through dedicated controls infrastructure will be covered.
Going forward, LLRF studies for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) are underway, with possible co-development activities foreseen with the LHC and electron injectors. In parallel, machine learning and AI techniques are being actively investigated for applications in diagnostics, anomaly detection, and real-time control optimization.
