  A 2.45 GHz ECR proton source, equipped with a set of three permanent magnets, was developed to increase the intensity of a high-quality proton beam. A 15 keV proton beam with intensity of 0.6 mA was produced with a proton ratio of more than 80 %. Emittance of the proton beam with intensity of 50 to 100 micro-A in the LEBT system was around 50 pi-mm-mrad. Beam transmission, defined by the ratio of the beam intensity between a Faraday cup placed in the axial injection beam line and an inflector electrode of the AVF cyclotron, was improved from 25 % for a 70 micro-A proton beam to more than 90 % for 30 micro-A obtained by defining the injection beam with a beam slit of iris type. The result indicated that the beam transmission was limited by the acceptance of the axial injection beam line. Emittance of the 65 MeV proton beam accelerated by the K140 AVF cyclotron was a few pi-mm-mrad for beam intensity of several-micro-A. In this paper, development of the intense proton beam and evaluation of the proton beam quality will be mainly reported.

  The Belle experiment is now being upgraded to the Belle II experiment designed for a 40 times higher luminosity. Such a high luminosity is realized by the SuperKEKB collider where beam-induced background rates are expected to be much higher than those of KEKB. This poses a serious challenge for the design of the machine-detector interface. We have thus carried out a GEANT4-based beam background simulation for Touschek effect. We describe the method of generating background particles and present the result of simulation.
