The Run Control system of the NA62 experiment at CERN SPS
Abstract
The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS started physics data taking this year with the aim to measure the ultra-rare decay K+π+. The experiment consists of a large number of subsystems to reach the goal of 10% accuracy and less than 10% background. The Run Control has been designed to link their trigger and data acquisition system in a single central application easily controllable by non-expert shifters. It has been continuously evolving over time, integrating new equipments, following new requirements and feedback from shifters. The next steps of development is a more automatized system that integrates the knowledge acquired during the operation of the experiment.
