MOPEC066 | Status of Mass Production of the ACS Cavity for the J-PARC Linac Energy Upgrade | 618 |

The mass production of the ACS (Annular Coupled Structure) cavity started from March 2009 for the J-PARC Linac energy upgrade from 181 MeV to 400 MeV. This upgrade project requires 18 ACS accelerating modules and two debunchers additionally within three years. The construction schedule is so tight that we have to optimize the fabrication process. For example the geometrical beta is varied for each accelerating module, thus the several test cells were fabricated and for the all beta before the mass production to confirm the initial design and the frequency tuning procedure. This paper describes our approach for the mass production and the current status and results. |
