As the Fermilab Tevatron Collider program draws to a close, a strategy has emerged of an experimental program built around the high intensity frontier. The centerpiece of this program is a superconducting H- linac that will support world leading programs in long baseline neutrino experimentation and the study of rare processes. Based on technology shared with the International Linear Collider, Project X will provide multi-MW beams at 60-120 GeV from the Main Injector, simultaneous with very high intensity beams at lower energies. Project X also supports development of a Muon Collider as a future facility at the energy frontier.

TUYRA02 Challenges and Solutions for J-PARC Commissioning and Early Operation 1304

The J-PARC accelerator facility consists of a 400 MeV H- linac, a 3-GeV RCS, a 50-GeV MR (Main Ring) and related experimental facilities. Beam commissioning of the facility is started from the upstream accelerators while construction of the downstream accelerators and experimental facilities is in progress. The beam commissioning of MR, MLF(Materials and Life science experimental Facility) and Hadron experimental facility started in JFY 2008. In this presentation, we present an overview of the J-PARC commissioning status. Recent progress of MR commissioning will be described in more detail. The talk will focus on the issues, challenges, solutions, and lessons learned during the commissioning and early operations of J-PARC.

With an average beam power of 1.3MW the PSI proton accelerator facility is presently at the worldwide forefront of high intensity accelerators. This talk describes critical aspects and recent improvements related to generation and transport of the high intensity beam in a cyclotron based facility. The installation of new accelerating resonators in the second of two cyclotrons led to a significant improvement in view of beam intensity but also the reliability of the facility. Besides the overall performance and further upgrade plans the discussed topics include: space charge dominated beam dynamics, beam loss handling, activation and specialized technical interlock systems.
