High-in­ten­sity and high-bright­ness beams are key in­gre­di­ents to max­i­mize the in­te­grated lu­mi­nos­ity of the LHC and ex­ploit its full po­ten­tial. This con­tri­bu­tion will de­scribe the op­ti­miza­tion of the beam and ma­chine pa­ra­me­ters to max­i­mize the in­te­grated lu­mi­nos­ity for the LHC ex­per­i­ments, by tak­ing into ac­count the ex­pected in­ten­sity and bright­ness reach of the LHC and its in­jec­tor chain and the ca­pa­bil­i­ties of the de­tec­tors for the next run and fore­seen up­grade sce­nar­ios.

  The J-PARC 3 GeV Rapid Cy­cling Syn­chro­tron (RCS) is the world's high­est class of high-power pulsed pro­ton dri­ver aim­ing at 1 MW out­put beam power. In the last sum­mer shut­down of 2013, the in­jec­tion en­ergy from the linac was up­graded from 181 MeV to the de­sign value of 400 MeV. In ad­di­tion, in this sum­mer shut­down of 2014, the max­i­mum peak cur­rent of the in­jec­tion beam will be in­creased from 30 mA to the de­sign value of 50 mA. In Oc­to­ber 2014 after com­plet­ing these se­ries of linac up­grades, we are to start the final stage of beam tun­ing to­ward the de­sign out­put beam power of 1 MW. The most im­por­tant is­sues in re­al­iz­ing such a high power 1 MW beam op­er­a­tion are con­trol and min­i­miza­tion of beam loss. This talk will pre­sent 1 MW beam tun­ing re­sults with par­tic­u­lar em­pha­sis on our ap­proach to beam loss is­sues.

  High-in­ten­sity pro­ton ac­cel­er­a­tors are vital tools for basic sci­ence, in­clud­ing nu­clear physics, par­ti­cle physics and ma­te­ri­als sci­ence. The de­vel­op­ment of hadron beam tech­nol­ogy and the de­mand for beams of ever-in­creas­ing in­ten­sity and power is dri­ven not only by the needs of basic sci­ence, but in­creas­ingly also by the ap­pli­ca­tion of hadron beams in areas be­yond basic sci­ence. To­mor­row’s high power hadron ac­cel­er­a­tors will be ap­plied for the de­vel­op­ment of new ma­te­ri­als for fis­sion and fu­sion re­ac­tors, for ex­plor­ing and per­haps gen­er­at­ing elec­tri­cal power from fu­sion en­ergy, and for help­ing to solve prob­lems in the nu­clear fuel cycle. Achiev­ing the ex­tremely de­mand­ing beam in­ten­si­ties and beam pow­ers of to­mor­row’s fron­tier pro­ton ac­cel­er­a­tors re­quires ex­tend­ing the state-of-the-art in ac­cel­er­a­tor tech­nol­ogy and in our un­der­stand­ing of the fun­da­men­tal physics of beams. The land­scape of high in­ten­sity pro­ton ac­cel­er­a­tors in the past, pre­sent and fu­ture will be de­scribed, and the tech­no­log­i­cal and ac­cel­er­a­tor physics chal­lenges that must be met will be sum­ma­rized.
