- Abstract summary: CIRCUS is an autonomous control system optimised for time-critical experiments.
It is suitable for strict synchronicity requirements and repeatable, automated operation of experiments.
Being experiment-agnostic and released open-source, other experiments can leverage its capabilities.

- Abstract: 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.
