MOYPLM1 | Challenges to Higher Beam Power in J-PARC: Achieved Performance and Future Prospects | 6 |
|
||
J-PARC is a world leading intensity frontier accelerator facility, consisting of a 400-MeV H− linac, a 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) and a 30-GeV slow cycling Main Ring synchrotron (MR). The RCS delivered a 500 kW beam (4.2·1013 particles per pulse (ppp)) to the Material and Life science experimental Facility (MLF) in April of 2018, The design power of 1 MW will be delivered in the next few years. Construction of a second target station (2TS) of the MLF with beam power upgraded to 1.5 MW is now under discussion. The MR delivers proton beam to a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, T2K, by fast extraction (FX) and to the hadron experimental facility by slow extraction (SX). For the FX, the maximum beam power is 475 kW and 2.5·1014 ppp, the world highest ppp in synchrotrons, and for the SX 51 kW and 5.5·1013 ppp with an extremely high extraction efficiency of 99.5 %. To achieve 1.3 MW beam power for the neutrino experiment, upgrades to allow operation with a higher repetition rate are planned. The talk will review recent progress of J-PARC facility by highlighting technical challenges toward higher beam power together with future prospects. | ||

MOPGW036 | Studies on Coherent Multi-Bunch Tune Shifts with Different Bunch Spacing at the J-PARC Main Ring | 167 |
|
||
At a high-power proton synchrotron, betatron tune shifts induced by space charge effects cause beam loss which limits the beam intensity. To achieve further high beam intensity at the main ring of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, precise control of the tune shift is indispensable. When carrying out multi-bunch measurements, we observed that the dependence of the tune shift intensity on the number of bunches follow opposite slope trends for the horizontal and vertical directions. The influence of the bunch spacing was also observed. We report on a simplified tune shift model reconstruction for understanding the origin of these phenomena and present a correction of the tune shifts for reducing beam loss up to 30 %. | ||

Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) Main Ring (MR), the world-class high intensity proton synchrotron, provides proton beam to two experimental facilities with two extraction modes: Fast extraction (FX) and Slow extraction (SX). The number of protons per pulse (ppp) in MR recorded the world highest value of 2.6×1014 in the FX mode. Now we are planning to increase the ppp further up to 3.3×1014 in near future. The beam profile is one of the most important parameters to discuss the high intensity beam dynamics in MR. Monitors using multi-wires / ribbons are effective to measure the beam profile with good accuracy and wide dynamic range. However, they cause significant beam losses by interactions with high-intensity circulating beam in synchrotrons. Recently, we installed new multi-ribbon profile monitor (MRPM) in an abort line in MR. The abort line is one of the extracted beam lines of the FX system. It has a quadrupole doublet which is called Abort Q and transports extracted beam to a beam dump. The FX system can extract the circulating beam in MR with an arbitrary energy. Performing the single-pass measurement with MRPM and changing the transfer matrix by sweeping field strength of Abort Q, the emittance of the extracted beam can be measured. In this paper, we present the design, manufacturing, and results of the first beam test of newly installed MRPM system. | ||

WEPTS024 | Tune Shifts and Optics Modulations in the High Intensity Operation at J-PARC MR | 3148 |

Funding: This study is supported by the MEXT program "Advanced Leading Graduate Course for Photon Science (ALPS)" J-PARC Main Ring (MR) is the intensity-frontier proton accelerator. The beam intensity of 2.6×1014 protons per pulse has been achieved for the current user operation. In this high-intensity operation, the tune spread caused by the space-charge is one of the main reasons for beam loss. The modulation of the betatron function and the tune shift were simulated with a PIC algorithm calculation code*. The simulation results showed that the space-charge effects were dominant in small particle action, and the sextupole fields effects were dominant in large particle action. Because sextupole strength is large in MR, sextupole fields induce substantial tune shifts. At the benchmark of the space-charge simulation, the simulation results matched the analytical space-charge calculations performed without sextupoles. It was found that the betatron function was modulated at most 6% by the space-charge effects and at most 8% by the effects of sextupoles in J-PARC MR. These effects to the injection beam optics matching and to the beam aperture will be investigated. * K.
