To en­hance the beam power de­liv­ered by the J-PARC* ring ac­cel­er­a­tors, up­grad­ing the ac­cel­er­at­ing cav­i­ties is in­dis­pens­able. In par­tic­u­lar, long term sta­ble op­er­a­tion of the pre­sent cav­i­ties for the RCS** is one of the im­por­tant is­sues. Cur­rent­ly, the cav­i­ties are load­ed with FINEMET*** cores cooled by water, where every core is coat­ed with glass cloth and epoxy resin for wa­ter­proof. How­ev­er, it was re­port­ed that some of the cores were dam­aged by ther­mal stress. We are de­vel­op­ing a new cav­i­ty load­ed with multi ring core mod­ules. Each core mod­ule con­sists of three ring cores con­cen­tri­cal­ly ar­ranged and sand­wiched be­tween two glass epoxy plates with flow chan­nels grooved. The ring cores with­out wa­ter­proof coat­ing are cooled by the tur­bu­lent flow of a chem­i­cal­ly inert liq­uid (Flu­o­rinert), since FINEMET is sub­ject to cor­ro­sion in water. We have de­signed and built a high power pro­to­type cav­i­ty load­ed with a sin­gle core mod­ule, then car­ried out low level mea­sure­ment and high power test. Fi­nal­ly, the cav­i­ty has been sta­bly op­er­at­ed up to an av­er­age power loss of 10 kW per core mod­ule, which is 1.7 times high­er than that for the pre­sent RCS cav­i­ty.
