The wide-band RF cavities in the J-PARC RCS are operated in the dual-harmonic operation, in which each single cavity is driven by a superposition of the fundamental and the second harmonic RF signals. By the dual-harmonic operation large amplitude second harmonic signals for the bunch shape manipulation are generated without extra cavities. The phase control of the second harmonic RF is a key for the bunch shape manipulation. The fundamental RF signal is controlled by the phase feedback loop to damp the dipole oscillation. The second harmonic is locked to the phase of the vector-sum phase of the fundamental RF signals. We present the system detail and the performance in the beam operation of the RCS.

The Longitudinal emittance in J-PARC RCS should be controlled to accelerate a high intensity proton beam with minimal beam loss. In order to study and minimize the beam loss during acceleration, the optimized way to add the 2nd higher harmonic rf has been calculated by a particle tracking code. Furthermore, the bunch shape at RCS extraction should be controlled and optimized for the MR injection. For this purpose, the optimum RCS acceleration pattern has been calculated. We describe the simulation results and the comparison with the beam test.

The Japan Proton Accelerator Complex includes the 3GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) and the 50GeV main ring synchrotron (MR). Both synchrotrons use the high field gradient magnetic alloy (MA) loaded cavities. In RCS, 11 RF systems have been fully operational since December 2008. The RCS RF systems are operated with dual-harmonic acceleration voltages. Beam acceleration and bunch shape manipulation are efficiently taking place. 120kW of the neutron user operation was started at the Material and Life science facilities in November 2009. In MR synchrotron, the 5th RF system were installed in August 2009, and therefore 5 RF systems are now in operation. Beam commissioning for delivering protons to the hadron facility and neutrino beam experimental facility are under way. The neutrino user experiment is intended to start January 2010. Proton beam operation with more than 100kW is required. The approaches to realizing high intensity operation and the MR upgrade plan will be presented.

Applying narrow band longitudinal noise to the beam in J-PARC Main Ring in flattop, while the acceleration voltage is off might help to counteract the effect of ripple on the slow extraction. For this purpose, a complex noise sequence output by DSP modulates a custom made DDS synthesizer to create single side spectra without carrier. The noise is calculated starting from a description in frequency domain. Then an algorithm creates narrow band spectra with optimized behavior in time domain. Frequency domain data is transformed to time domain, and the amplitude is smoothed. The smoothed data is transformed back to frequency domain, and the spectral shape is restored. This process repeats until the amplitude in time domain has converged, while the desired spectrum shape is preserved. Noise generated in this way can be tailored for different requirements. We show the signal properties, the hardware, and preliminary beam test results, when the noise is applied to the MR RF system.

The RF cavity using Magnetic Alloy (MA) cores has been developed for achieving the high field gradient in J-PARC. For reducing the beam loading effects, the Q-value of the RF cavities in the Main Ring (MR) is controlled by using the cut-core configuration. In order to check the effect of HOMs between the cut-core gap, a simulation method of MA cores was studied and electromagnetic fields of excitation modes have been calculated by HFSS. We present the detail of the simulation method of MA cores and the HOM analysis of the cavity with the cut-cores.

Several magnetic alloy cores of the RF cavities, which are installed in the 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) of J-PARC have shown buckling after about two years operation. To find the reason, why the local deformation happened, we made a test setup. There we heat up MA cores in air by 500 kHz RF and measure the thermal deformation in order to collect information about the buckling process. The results obtained by comparing the expansion of cores made by different production methods are reported.

Magnetic alloy cavities are successfully used for J-PARC synchrotrons. These cavities generate much higher RF voltage than ordinary ferrite cavities. For future upgrades of J-PARC facilities, a higher field gradient is necessary. It was found that the characteristics of magnetic alloy is improved by a new annealing scheme under magnetic field. A large production system using an old cyclotron magnet is under construction for the J-PARC upgrade. The status of core development will be reported.

We have been operating the RF cavities loaded with MA cores with a high field gradient of more than 20 kV/m since October 2007. We have been measuring the RF cavity impedance at the shutdown periods, and we detected the impedance reductions of RCS RF cavities on January and June 2009. Taking out the RF cavities from the beam line and opening them, we found that many of cores showed a buckling at the inner radius. Also detachment of the epoxy coating intended to prevent rusting was observed. We report the detail of condition of MA cores and the relation between the impedance reduction and core condition.

A NEA-GaAs photocathode is an important component for the next generation light source based on the ERL. Although the NEA-GaAs cathode has high quantum efficiency, deterioration of the NEA surface becomes serious with a high current operation. Therefore improvement of a vacuum in the cathode chamber is essential to get a long lifetime of the NEA-GaAs cathode. We are developing a photocathode test bench consisting of titanium (TP340) chamber, whose outgas rate is 1/1000 smaller than one of a SUS chamber, a cryo-pump (4000l/s) and a NEG pump (1900l/s). We report mainly the vacuum performance of the system.

Compact ERL (cERL) is a test accelerator to establish accelerator technologies for GeV-class synchrotron light source based on ERL (Energy Recovery Linac), and will be constructed in KEK. It consists of an injector with photo cathode 500 kV DC gun, a merger section, super conducting RF cavities for acceleration and energy recovery, return loops, and a beam dump. To operate and test the photo cathode gun before installing it in the cERL injector, Gun Test Facility is constructing in KEK, AR south experimental hall. The Gun Test Facility has two photo cathode guns, 200 kV gun developed by Nagoya University and new 500 kV gun which is being developed, laser system to be emitted electrons from photo cathode surface, beam transport lines, and a beam diagnostics system. The diagnostics system consists of a double slit emittance measurement system, beam position monitors, transverse profile monitors, and a deflecting cavity to measure the bunch length and the longitudinal profile. In this presentation, the progress in the construction of the Gun Test Facility and the beam dynamics simulation will be presented.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV-class energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting active R&D efforts for that. We are developing super-brilliant DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting linacs, 1.3 GHz high CW-power rf sources, and other important components. We are also constructing a compact ERL for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using those key components. We present our recent progress in this project.

A 500-kV, 10-mA photocathode DC gun has been designed and is now under fabrication by the collaboration efforts of JAEA, KEK, Hiroshima Univ. and Nagoya Univ. The Cockcroft-Walton generator and the ceramic insulator are installed upright in the SF6 tank. We have adopted a multiple-stacked cylindrical ceramic insulator, because this type of ceramic insulator has shown good stability and robustness at the 200-kV Nagoya polarized gun and the 250-kV JAEA FEL gun. The vacuum chamber, the guard-rings and the support-rod electrode are made of titanium alloy with very low out-gassing and robustness to high voltage performances. The Cockcroft-Walton generator, the ceramic insulator, the vacuum chamber and the guard-rings have been assembled and a high-voltage test has been successfully done with up to 550kV. The high-voltage test and up-to-date status of the gun development will be presented in detail.

KEK manages two synchrotron radiation sources, Photon Factory storage ring (PF-ring) of 2.5 GeV and Photon Factory advanced ring (PF-AR) of 6.5 GeV. These rings share an injector linac with the two main rings of KEK B-factory, 8-GeV HER and 3.5-GeV LER. Recently, the linac has succeeded in a pulse by pulse multi-energy acceleration. A top-up operation of PF-ring has been realized as the simultaneous continuous injection to the 3 rings, PF-ring, HER and LER. Development of new injection scheme using a pulsed sextupole magnet continues aiming at practical use in the top-up operation. A rapid-polarization-switching device consisting of tandem two APPLE-II type undulators has been developed at PF-ring. The first undulator was installed in 2008, and the second one will be installed in 2010 summer. PF-AR, operated in a single-bunch mode at all times, has been suffered from sudden lifetime drop phenomena attributed to dust trapping for many years. Using the movable electrodes installed for experiment, we confirmed that the discharge created by the electrode was followed by the dust trapping, and succeeded in a visual observation of luminous dust streaking in front of CCD cameras.
