  Since recovery from the great earthquake 2011.3.11, proton beam, more than 1014 ppp, is accelerated up to 30 GeV at the J-PARC MR. The BPMs were originally designed with the external capacitors. The aim was to improve the position response in wider frequencies and to get an adequate output voltage at the design intensity, 4x1013 ppb. It was modified, however, not to have the capacitors. Therefore we have sufficient signal intensity from low intensity beams of the initial beam commissioning, but too large from the design intensity beam. The processing circuits (BPMC) have to accommodate those output signals from high intensity beams. We are adding the attenuator-LPFs just before the BPMC. This paper will describe these additional attenuator-LPFs. In connection with the MR collimator upgrade, some BPMs are re-allocated. This process is also reported.

  An extremely wide aperture relay optical system based on Offner system has been designed and constracted for OTR monitor at 3-50 beam transport line of J-PARC. Diagnostics for beam profile and halo are very important to optimize injection beam from RCS to MR in J-PARC. For this purpose, an OTR monitor is planed to install for an observation of image of the beam and halo after the beam collimators. Since opening of OTR is very wide due to small Gamma; 3.2, extremely wide aperture (500mrad) optics will necessary to extract OTR from file target. We designed Offner type relay optics for the effective extraction of OTR having F=0.83. The clear aperture will cover 100 x 100mm aria on the target screen. Results of optical testing and design of OTR monitor will present in this paper.

A non-destructive beam profile monitor using a sheeted jet beam of nitrogen molecular as a target has been developed for intense ion beams. The pressure of the sheeted molecular beam was 5 x 10-4 Pa at the beam collision point. A light emitted from excited nitrogen by an ion beam collision is measured by a high sensitive camera with a radiation resistant image intensifier. Verification of such a principle was already demonstrated with low-energy ion beams[1]. In this paper, some actual designs for intense beams of the J-PARC MR will be discussed mainly as bellow, intensity upgrade of the jet beam production, configuration of the detection chamber and its apparatus placed beam collision point, and the optical system for the light detection.

  Transverse beam profiles have been measured using flying wire monitors at the main ring of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The wire target should be thin and the wire scan has to be fast for the precise profile measurement. Otherwise the beam distribution would be disturbed and the measured profile would not be accurate. We use carbon fibers of 7 μm in diameter and the scan speed of 10 m/s. The wire is attached with an aluminum flame of 140 mm of the rotation radius and rotated with a DC servomotor. A potentiometer is attached to the wire flame and the angle readout is used for the feedback of the servomotor and the wire position measurement. The secondary particles from the beam-wire scattering are measured with a scintillation counter. Beam profiles are reconstructed by making the scatter plot of the scintillator signal and wire position. Both horizontal and vertical flying wire monitors have been used for the beam commissioning. We have successfully measured the beam profile of up to 1.2×1013 protons per bunch.
