NUCLOTRON BEAM EXTRACTION CONTROL

The superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron was put into operation in March 1993. Seventeen runs of the accelerator have been performed by the present time. The first experiments with the Nuclotron Beam Slow Extraction System (BES) were carried out in December 1999 and in March 2000. The Nuclotron Control System (NCS)[1] provided an efficient support for the machine operation during all runs. Design and pilot configurations of the control subsystem for the BES are described.
