大型强子对撞机（LHC）粒子加速器位于瑞士日内瓦附近的中欧粒子物理实验室CERN，二十年来一直是世界上最强大的加速器。利用PS助推器（质子同步加速器）产生并推动14 TeV的质子束绕其27公里的周长，LHC提供质子碰撞的实验，如ATLAS位于地下100米的束线。2012年底，LHC关闭了两年进行维护升级。到2022年，为了扩大发现潜力，下一个LHC升级称为HL-LCH（高亮度LHC），将依靠创新的解决方案来应对技术的特殊挑战。为了承受亮度（碰撞率）增加10倍，因此需要对辐射硬材料，结构和电子学进行新的研究。考虑到这一点，一个新的辐射硬机器人系统已经在伯明翰大学医学物理回旋加速器的新ATLAS扫描设施内开发。该系统用于照射硅传感器、光学元件和机械结构（例如碳纤维夹层）。本文详细介绍了ATLAS扫描设备的机器人控制系统。
Based at CERN, the Central European Particle Physics Laboratory near Geneva in Switzerland, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator has been the most powerful accelerator in the world for two decades. Utilizing the PS Booster (Proton Synchrotron) to generate and propel a 14 TeV proton beam around its 27 km circumference, the LHC provides proton collisions for experiments such as ATLAS sited 100 m underground in the beam line. In late 2012 the LHC shut down for two years for maintenance upgrades. In 2022 to extend discovery potential, the next LHC upgrade called HL-LCH (High Luminosity LHC), will rely on innovative solutions to exceptional challenges for technologies. To withstand an increase in luminosity (rate of collisions) by a factor of 10, therefore new research into radiation hard materials, structures and electronics is required. With this in mind, a new a radiation hard robot system has been developed within a new ATLAS scanning facility at the University of Birmingham Medical Physics cyclotron. This system is used to irradiate silicon sensors, optical components and mechanical structures (e.g. carbon fibre sandwiches). The robotic control system of the ATLAS scanning facility is described in detail in this paper.
