  J-Parc linac has developed the output beam power by increasing of acceleration energy and the peak beam current. The beam loss is getting serious along with increasing the output beam power, however, the beam loss caused at the low energy part is difficult to detect due to the low energy radioactive emission. An interlock system has been developed to prevent from the sufficient material activation using the beam current monitors. In the system, an electrical circuit to take the beam transmission between two beam current monitors is newly designed and fabricated. This paper describes the performance of the electrical circuit and the system configuration will be introduced.

  The linac and the RCS in J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) have over 64000 EPICS records, providing enormous data to control much equipment. The data has been collected into PostgreSQL, while we are planning to replace it with HBase and Hadoop, a well-known distributed database and a distributed file system that HBase depends on. In the previous conference it was reported that we had constructed an archive system with a new version of HBase and Hadoop that cover a single point of failure, although we realized there were some issues to make progress into a practical phase. In order to revise the system with resolving the issues, we have been reconstructing the system with replacing master nodes with reinforced hardware machines, creating a kickstart file and scripts to automatically set up a node, introducing a monitoring tool to early detect flaws without fail, etc. In this paper these methods are reported, and the performance tests for the new system with accordingly fixing some parameters in HBase and Hadoop, are also examined and reported.

  The beam commissioning of J-PARC started in November, 2006. Since then, the timing system of J-PARC accelerator complex has contributed stable beam operations of three accelerators: a 400-MeV linac (LI), a 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS), and a 50-GeV synchrotron (MR). The timing system handles two different repetition cycles: 25 Hz for LI and RCS, and 2.48-6.00 sec. for MR (MR cycle). In addition, the timing system is capable to provide beams to two different experimental facilities in single MR cycle: Material and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) and Neutrino Experimental Facility (NU), or, MLF and Hadron Experimental Facility (HD). Recently, a plan to introduce a new facility, Accelerator-Driven Transmutation Experimental Facility (ADS), around 2018, has been discussed. Studies for the timing system upgrade are started: change of the master repetition rate from 25Hz to 50 Hz, and a scheme to provide beams to three different experimental facilities in single MR cycle (MLF, NU and ADS or MLF, HD and ADS). This paper reviews the 8-year operation experience of the J-PARC timing system, followed by a present perspective of upgrade studies.
