1. EPICS Activities in Japan N. Kamikubota, KEK/J-PARC
May 2017 in KURRI, kami, KEK/J-PARC

2. 1990’es - Dawn of Epics in Japan
KEK looked for new control framework
For KEKB project (after TRISTAN)
1993
KEKB staff found EPICS during ICALEPCS1993 in Berlin
Bob Dalesio visited KEK, and installed 1st EPICS in Japan
A year later, KEK decided to introduce EPICS for KEKB

LIGO (in USA) has been using EPICS: then in Japan
KAGRA (Kamioka Gravitational wave detector)
Detected by LIGO on Sept.14, 2015
IFMIF, QST, KAGRA – they are interested in EPICS
Less man-power, but ..
To be EPICS collaborators in the near future
