  The accelerator complex of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) mainly consists of an H linac of 80 MeV and a rapid-cycling synchrotron of 1.6 GeV. It operates at 25 Hz repetition rate with an initial proton beam power of 100 kW and is upgradeable to 500kW. The project will start construction in the middle of 2011 with a construction period of 6.5 years. The CSNS accelerator is the first large-scale, high-power accelerator project to be constructed in China and thus we are facing a lot of challenges. This paper presents the current status of CSNS project and summarizes the technology development during the past several years.

  The Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) was upgraded to a factory-like machine –- BEPCII, during last several years. From last November, the BEPCII was commissioned again for its luminosity. Efforts on optics correction including optimizing the strengths of superconducting quadrupoles near the IP, orbits correction concerning beam energy, etc, make the transvers tunes possible to move very close to half integer, bringing a big luminosity increase. The background of the detector is also reduced with beam commissioning, and finally fit the requirements of data taking. Further luminosity commissioing, including coupling optimization, beta-waist tuning, was carried on, and the luminosity reached 6.49·1032 cm-2 s-1 during routine operation. Some measures of luminosity enhancement and the luminosity related accelerator physics issues will be discussed.

  Digital LLRF development using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is a new activity at Daresbury Laboratory. Using the LLRF4 development board, designed by Larry Doolittle of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a full featured control system incorporating fast feedback loops and a feed-forward system has been developed for use on the ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers in Combined Experiments) energy recovery linac. Technical details of the system are presented, along with experimental measurements.

  The ‘EMMA’ Non-Scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (NS-FFAG) international project is currently being commissioned at Daresbury Laboratory, UK. This accelerator has been equipped with a number of diagnostic systems to facilitate this. These systems include a novel time-domain-multiplexing BPM system, moveable screen systems, a time-of-flight instrument, Faraday cups, and injection/extraction tomography sections to analyse the single bunch beams. An upgrade still to implement includes the installation of a fast wall current monitor. This paper gives an overview of these systems and shows some data and results that have contributed to the successful demonstration of a serpentine acceleration by this novel accelerator.
