	At HIMAC synchrotron, two kinds of slow-extraction method have been developed and utilized: third-order resonant slow-extraction and that with RF-knockout, not only for ion therapy but also for physics and biological experiments. Thus, the improvements of the extracted beam quality have also been carried out in both methods. One of the improvements is the global spill control. The global spill is improved owing to analytical approach in both methods. Cooperating with the feedback system, the flat spill is easily obtained without gain control of the feedback during the extraction. On the other hand, the effect of longitudinal motion for the bunched beam was studied to suppress the frequency component of the synchrotron oscillation in the spill ripple. Further, the transport of the extracted beam is readjusted for controlling the beam size. In this paper, recent improvement of slow-extraction at HIMAC is presented.

	In the HIMAC synchrotron, the electron cooling experiments have been carried out since 2000 in order to develop new technologies in heavy-ion therapy and related research. Among of them, especially, the cool-stacking method has been studied to increase the intensity of heavy ions such as Fe and Ni in order to study the risk estimation of the radiation exposure in space. The simulation was carried out in order to optimize the stacking intensity under various the injection periods. In addition, the beam heating by the RF-KO and the clearing the secondary ion in the cooler were applied to avoid the instability occurred when the beam density became high. We will report the experiment results.

	Tumor therapy using Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) has been made over ten years at National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS). Due to the successful clinical results, the project on developing compact medical accelerators for the tumor therapy has been started. To design these compact facilities, the size of a linac as well as the construction and operation costs is important. To satisfy these requirements, we propose Alternating-Phase-Focused (APF) linac using an Interdigital H-mode cavity. Since the axial and radial focusing of beam is made just with the acceleration rf field, no additional focusing elements is needed for the APF linac. This feature would make the costs lower than those of conventional linacs. The practical design of the APF linac will be presented.

	Since 1994, the clinical trial at HIMAC has been successfully being progressed and more than 1,700 patients have treated with carbon ions. Owing to the good result of HIMAC, several medical groups in Japan have strongly required the carbon therapy facility. Based on the development of accelerator and the irradiation technologies for 10 years, therefore, we started to design a carbon therapy facility in Japan. The accelerator complex for the facility consists of two ECR ion sources with permanent magnets, an injector linac cascade (RFQ+IH) with the energy of 4 MeV/n, a synchrotron ring with the maximum energy of 400 MeV/n and beam delivery system for three treatment rooms. The R&D for the new facility has been already approved and will be started from April 2004. We will describe the conceptual design of the new facility.

	In the multiturn injection method at the HIMAC synchrotron, a collapsing speed of the bump orbit was decreased from 200 to 350 microseconds in order to obtain higher intensity beam. The injection line was readjusted to satisfy the optimum condition of multiturn injection method. Furthermore, COD correction and bump-orbit optimization were carried out. On the other hand, in order to prevent the resonance by tune shift and to keep the beam intensity constant, tune survey was carried out. While vertical tune is adjusted, we propose that the method to reduce beam loss after injection by expanding vertical beam size by means of the RF-knockout. This paper describes the improvement of injection at HIMAC synchrotron.
