The proposed design of the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) driver linac is based on cw fully superconducting 1.4 GV linac capable to accelerate uranium ions up to 400 MeV/u and protons to 1 GeV with 400 kW beam power. Extensive research and development effort has resolved many technical issues related to the construction of the driver linac and other systems of the RIA facility. Particularly, newly developed high-performance SC cavities will provide the required voltage for the driver linac using 300 cavities designed for six different geometrical betas. We are currently looking at alternatives for staging the facility to reduce the initial cost by about a factor of two. A possibility for the first stage includes ~850 MV driver linac to deliver uranium beams at 200 MeV/u and protons at 550 MeV. Thanks to successful tests of the front end systems, 400 kW beams can be obtained with increased intensities of heavy-ion beams from the ECR and higher rf power in the linac even at the first stage of the facility.

The concept of Fixed-Field Alternating-Gradient (FFAG) accelerators was introduced about a half century ago. Few prototypes were built soon after and successfully placed in operation. Nevertheless, because of the perceived complexity of the early model magnets and design, the concept was soon abandoned in favor of cyclotrons, synchrotrons and linacs. It was subsequently occasionally revived for possible application as spallation neutron sources; but it was only recently that, because of the need of fast acceleration of muons, that FFAGs were re-considered and studied with more attention. Two prototypes were eventually built and operated at KEK for the acceleration of Protons. The interest indeed soon switched more steadily toward acceleration of protons (and electrons) as application for high-power proton drivers and medical accelerators. The paper describes the design procedure of a proton FFAG accelerator that employs a Non-Scaling lattice and exposes the main inherent issues, namely: the crossing of multiple resonances, space-charge at injection, and the fast acceleration rate that may impose limitations on the RF cavity hardware.

The J-PARC accelerator complex consists of a 400-MeV linac, a 3.0-GeV rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS), a 50-GeV main ring (MR) and associated beam transport lines to experimental facilities, which use the 3- and 50-GeV proton beams. It is now under construction in the Tokai campus of JAEA as a joint project between JAEA and KEK. The beam commissioning of each accelerator is scheduled to start for linac in December 2006, RCS in September 2007 and MR in May 2008. The commissioning strategy for the accelerator complex will be presented.
