  This in­vited talk pre­sents the most re­cent sta­tus of im­prov­ing J-PARC main ring (MR) beam op­er­a­tion to­gether with the rapid cy­cling syn­chro­tron (RCS) ef­fort. The RCS has op­ti­mized the beam per­for­mance for the MR in­jec­tion as well as the muon and neu­tron tar­gets, where each re­quires dif­fer­ent emit­tance and beam halo size. The MR has two ex­trac­tion modes; fast ex­trac­tion (FX) for the long base­line neu­trino os­cil­la­tion ex­per­i­ment, T2K, and slow ex­trac­tion (SX) for ex­per­i­ments in the hadron ex­per­i­men­tal fa­cil­ity. At pre­sent, achieved beam in­ten­si­ties are 2.4·1014 pro­tons per pulse (ppp) with cycle time 2.48 s (470 kW) in the FX mode and 5.1013 ppp with cycle time 5.52 s (44 kW) in the SX mode. For the FX op­er­a­tion, re­cent im­prove­ments are set­tings of new be­ta­tron tune, cor­rec­tions of res­o­nances near the be­ta­tron tune, and adopt­ing 2nd har­monic rf volt­age to re­duce space charge ef­fect. Beam in­sta­bil­i­ties have been sup­pressed with con­trol­ling chro­matic­ity cor­rec­tion and trans­verse feed­back sys­tems. For the SX mode, a dy­namic bump scheme for re­duc­ing ex­tracted beam loss is suc­cess­fully adopted. A high ex­trac­tion ef­fi­ciency of 99.5 % is achieved at the 44 kW beam op­er­a­tion.

The Warm Front End (WFE) of the Pro­ton Im­prove­ment Plan II In­jec­tor Test [1] at Fer­mi­lab has been con­structed to its full length. It in­cludes a 15-mA DC, 30-keV H ion source, a 2 m-long Low En­ergy Beam Trans­port (LEBT) with a switch­ing di­pole mag­net, a 2.1 MeV CW RFQ, fol­lowed by a Medium En­ergy Beam Trans­port (MEBT) with var­i­ous di­ag­nos­tics and a dump. This re­port pre­sents the com­mis­sion­ing sta­tus, fo­cus­ing on beam mea­sure­ments in the MEBT. In par­tic­u­lar, a beam with the pa­ra­me­ters re­quired for in­jec­tion into the Booster (5 mA, 0.55 ms macro-pulse at 20 Hz) was trans­ported through the WFE.

  After two-year's shut­down, the GSI ac­cel­er­a­tors plus the lat­est ad­di­tion of stor­age ring CRYRING, will be back into op­er­a­tion in 2018 as the FAIR phase 0 with the goal to ful­fill the needs of sci­en­tific com­mu­nity and the FAIR ac­cel­er­a­tors and de­tec­tor de­vel­op­ment. Even though GSI has been well known for its op­er­a­tion of a va­ri­ety of ion beams rang­ing from pro­ton up to ura­nium for multi re­search areas such as nu­clear physics, as­tro­physics, bio­physics, ma­te­r­ial sci­ence, the up­com­ing beam time faces a num­ber of chal­lenges in re-com­mis­sion­ing its ex­ist­ing cir­cu­lar ac­cel­er­a­tors with brand new con­trol sys­tem and up­grade of beam in­stru­men­ta­tions, as well as in ris­ing fail­ures of dated com­po­nents and sys­tems. The cy­cling syn­chro­tron SIS18 has been un­der­go­ing a set of up­grade mea­sures for ful­fill­ing fu­ture FAIR op­er­a­tion, among which many mea­sures will also be com­mis­sioned dur­ing the up­com­ing beam time. This paper pre­sents the high­lights of the chal­lenges such as re-es­tab­lish­ing the high in­ten­sity heavy ion op­er­a­tion as well as par­al­lel op­er­a­tion mode for serv­ing multi users. The sta­tus of prepa­ra­tion in­clud­ing com­mis­sion­ing re­sults will also be re­ported.

This paper pre­sents re­cent de­vel­op­ments of ac­cel­er­a­tor physics re­lated top­ics for the Fa­cil­ity for Rare Iso­tope Beams (FRIB) being built at Michi­gan State Uni­ver­sity. While ex­ten­sive beam dy­nam­ics sim­u­la­tions in­clud­ing all known er­rors do not show un­con­trolled beam losses in the linac, ion beam con­t­a­m­i­nants ex­tracted from the ECR ion source to­gether with main ion beam can pro­duce sig­nif­i­cant losses after the charge strip­per. These stud­ies re­sulted in de­vel­op­ment of beam col­li­ma­tion sys­tem at rel­a­tively low en­ergy of 16 MeV/u and room tem­per­a­ture bunch­ers in­stead of orig­i­nally planned su­per­con­duct­ing ones. Com­mis­sion­ing of the Front End en­abled de­tailed beam physics stud­ies ac­com­pa­nied with the sim­u­la­tions using sev­eral beam dy­nam­ics codes. Set­tings of beam op­tics de­vices from the ECR to MEBT has been de­vel­oped and ap­plied to meet im­por­tant pro­ject mile­stones. Sim­i­lar work is planned for the beam com­mis­sion­ing of the first 3 cry­omod­ules in the su­per­con­duct­ing linac.
