强大而强大的控制系统是任何现代复杂物理实验的关键支柱，但往往被忽视，这些实验需要管理大量不同的设备，并实现它们的精确时间同步。宙斯盾的合作展示了Circus，这是一种新颖的自主控制系统，经过优化，适用于时间关键型实验，如欧洲核子研究中心的反质子减速器，以及更广泛的原子和量子物理研究。它的设置基于Sinara/Artiq和TALOS，集成了羊驼分析流水线，后两者完全在宙斯盾中开发。它适用于严格的同步性要求和可重复的、自动化的实验操作，最终通过实时数据分析的反馈实现自主参数优化。Circus已经在宙斯盾上成功部署和测试；由于与实验无关并发布了开放源码，其他实验可以利用它的功能。
A powerful and robust control system is a crucial, often neglected, pillar of any modern, complex physics experiment that requires the management of a multitude of different devices and their precise time synchronisation. The AEgIS collaboration presents CIRCUS, a novel, autonomous control system optimised for time-critical experiments such as those at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator and, more broadly, in atomic and quantum physics research. Its setup is based on Sinara/ARTIQ and TALOS, integrating the ALPACA analysis pipeline, the last two developed entirely in AEgIS. It is suitable for strict synchronicity requirements and repeatable, automated operation of experiments, culminating in autonomous parameter optimisation via feedback from real-time data analysis. CIRCUS has been successfully deployed and tested in AEgIS; being experiment-agnostic and released open-source, other experiments can leverage its capabilities.
