  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.

  The SPIRAL2 RFQ is designed to accelerate light and heavy ions up to A/Q=3 in CW mode to 0.75MeV/u. During its commissioning, the bunch lengths measured using a Beam Extension Monitor were compared with simulations for different ion species (Proton, Helium, Oxygen, Argon). The longitudinal emittances measured using the 3 gradients method and a multiparticule optimization method were also compared successfully to the expected ones.

The SNS (Spallation Neutron Source) (radio-frequency) RF-driven, H ion source injects ~50 mA of H beam into the SNS accelerator at 60 Hz with a 6% duty factor. It injects up to 7 A·hrs of H ions during its ~14-week service cycles, which is an unprecedented lifetime for small-emittance, high-current pulsed H ion sources. The SNS source also features unprecedented low cesium consumption and can be installed and started up in <10 h. Presently, the LANSCE (Los Alamos Neutron Science CEnter) accelerator complex in Los Alamos is fed by a filament-driven, biased converter-type H source that operates with a high plasma duty factor of 10%. It needs to be replaced every 4 weeks with a ~4 day startup phase. The measured negative beam current of 16-18 mA falls below the desired 21 mA acceptance of LANSCE’s accelerator especially since the beam contains several mA of electrons. LANSCE and SNS are exploring the possibility of using the SNS RF H source at LANSCE to increase the H beam current and the ion source lifetime while decreasing the startup time. For this purpose, the SNS H source has been tested at a 10% duty factor by operating it at 120 Hz with 840 µs plasma pulses generated with ~30 kW of 2 MHz RF power, and extracting ~25 mA around-the-clock for 28 days. This, and additional tests and other considerations are discussed in this paper.

  After energy and intensity upgrade to 400MeV and 50mA respectively, J-PARC linac were ready for 1 MW beam power from RCS. J-PARC is now successfully operated at 50mA/400MeV for 500kW at neutron target, and on the way to 1MW. The next milestones 1.2 and 1.5MW from RCS are relying on feasibility and property of increase of peak current to 60 mA and the pulse width to 600us in linac. Beam studies were carried out at linac to study the initial beam parameters from ion source/RFQ, to find the optimized lattice and matching, to clarify beam loss source and to mitigate the loss/residue dose for the power upgrade.

  The J-PARC Main Ring (MR) is working on imporved beam to 750 kW by shorting the repetition period from 2.48 s to 1.3 s which we call 1Hz operation. The septum magnets for fast extraction in MR will be improved to the new septum magnets which can operate 1Hz. The new magnets will be installed to MR in 2021. In this poster we will report about the new low field septum magnet for the fast extraction. The present septum magnets are conventional type. Therefore, we have problem in durability of thin septum coil by its magnetic vibration, and large leakage field at the exit of the circulating beam duct. The new septum magnets are eddy current type. The eddy current type does not have septum coil, but has a thin septum plate. We can expect that there is no problem in durability of septum coil, and leakage field can be reduced. The output of the present power supply are pattern current which of flat top is 10 ms width, the new one is short pulse which of one is 10 us. The short pulse consists of fundamental and 3rd harmonic sin-wave pulse. We can expect that the flatness and reproducibility of flat top current can be improved. We confirmed that 1Hz operation and high accuracy of its output current and magnetic field with the new septum magnet system. We had some problem in unexpected instability of output current. In this report we also summarize the measure against the instabillity.

  The J-PARC Main Ring (MR) is working on imporved beam to 750 kW by shorting the repetition period from 2.48 s to 1.3 s which we call 1Hz operation. There are fout high field septum magnet along the fast extraction line in the MR, and these will be improved to the new magnets which can operate 1Hz frequency. The new high field septa will be installed in 2021. In this poster we will report about the performance of these new septum magnets. These high field septum magnets are called Septum 30(SM30), 31(SM31), 32(SM32), 33(SM33). We will replace SM30, SM31, and SM32. One reasons of cethe replacement is installation of a large-size quadrupole magnet to upsteam postion of the septa. We need to change the longitudinal length of the septa. Second is large aperture of the beam duct for reduction of beam loss by the collision of the halo of the proton beam to the duct. The new high field SM30, SM31 and SM32 have large aperture. and the material of the beam ducts for extraction line are ceramics for reduction of amount of heat generation by eddy current on the surface of the duct. The maetial of the circulating duct are titanium for reduction of radioactivation. On the other hand, the power supply will not be replaced, then the current power supplies will be used for these new septa. The new SM30, SM31, and SM32 were produced in 2015. The first test operation of SM31 were conduced with 2.48 s repein 2015, and we have meaured the magnetic field without problem. In 2018, we conduced the first 1Hz operation with SM30. The minimum repetition period of the operation was 1.16 s without any problem. We measuered magnetic fields in the gap of the pole and in the circulating beam duct. In this report we will report the detail of the results of the operation and field measurement.

TUPTS032 Radiation Design of New 30 kW Beam Dump of J-PARC Main Ring 2005

  The J-PARC Main Ring (MR) has a beam dump for the beam study and beam abort. Its present capacity is 7.5 kW in one hour average which is limited by radiation condition for the environments. The number of protons in one MR cycle is 2.6·10+14 in recent days, which corresponds to the beam power of 500 kW. As the top energy of J-PARC MR is 30 GeV, the number of available beam shots is restricted to less than twenty in one hour with such an intense beam. It imposes a big limitation on high power beam tuning and study. The number of protons is expected to become 3.3·10+14 for MW operation. Hence, an upgrade of the beam dump from 7.5 kW to 30 kW is planned. The radiation dose rate should be less than 0.25μSv/h on the ground. The backscattered neutron flux should be examined in the accelerator tunnel. The new dump design on radiation matters is described in this paper.

  The J-PARC RCS utilizes four sets of pulsed dipole magnets for the formation of injection orbit bump. The injection bump magnets have a large aspect ratio (gap length/core length), so there are other high-order field components inherent in their magnetic fields in addition to the main dipole component. The high-order field components, which locally exist in the injection section not following the lattice super-periodicity, have a significant influence on the circulating beam during multi-turn injection via the excitation of high-order random betatron resonances. This paper discusses the detailed mechanism of emittance growth and beam loss caused by the high-order field components of the injection bump magnets including its correction scenario on the basis of numerical simulation and experimental results.

  The J-PARC RCS has successfully accelerated 1 MW proton beam, matching the designed beam power. Therefore, we have considered acceleration beyond the designed beam power, with the next target being 1.2 MW. An issue for 1.2 MW beam acceleration is the rf system. The present anode power supply is limited by its output current, and the vacuum tube amplifier suffers from an unbalance of the anode voltage swing, arising from the combination of multi-harmonic rf driving and push-pull operation. We have investigated the mitigation of the maximum anode currents and unbalanced tubes by choosing appropriate circuit parameters of the rf cavity with the tube amplifier. We describe the analysis results of the vacuum tube operation for 1.2 MW beam acceleration in the RCS.

  The 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) provides more than 500 kW beams to the Material and Life Science Facility (MLF) and Main Ring (MR). In such a high-intensity hadron accelerator, even losing less than 0.1% of the beam can cause many problems. Such lost protons can cause serious radio-activation and accelerator component malfunctions. Therefore, we have conducted a beam study to achieve high-power operation. In addition, we have also maintained the accelerator components to enable stable operation. This paper reports the status of the J-PARC RCS over the last year.

  A simulation is coded to calculate the beam loading in the cavity of CiADS and the response of the LLRF system. In the pulse operating mode, the fluctuation of amplitude and phase of the cavity field contributed by the transient beam loading is traced. During the simulation the effect of beam current fluctuation, and timing jitter were determined. The deviation margin of relational parameters is lined out to meet the requirement for cavity stability with amplitude 0.1% and phase 0.1°.
