J-PARC LINACのMEBT1 (Medium Energy Beam Transport 1)は、RFQ (Radio Frequency Quadrupole)とDTL (Drift Tube Linac)の間に位置する3MeVビームの輸送系である。この区間ではDTLへの入射ビームのマッチングや後段の3GeVシンクロトロンの加速周期に合わせたビームのチョップを行っており、MEBT1の特性はJ-PARC加速器施設におけるビームの品質を決める重要な要素である。1MWおよびそれを超えるビーム出力を目指すにあたり、MEBT1の安定性および信頼性向上は重要な開発項目となっており、ビーム集束系への永久磁石の適用を検討している。本発表では、MEBT1への導入に向けた永久磁石を用いた集束磁石の設計およびその集束磁石を用いる場合のMEBT1のラティス検討結果を報告する。

MEBT1 (Medium Energy Beam Transport 1) of the J-PARC LINAC is a 3 MeV beam transport system located between the RFQ (Radio Frequency Quadrupole) and DTL (Drift Tube Linac). In the MEBT1, the beam-optical matching for injection into DLT and chopping for injection into acceleration phase of 3 GeV synchrotron, located downstream to the LINAC, are performed. The characteristics of MEBT1 are an important factor in determining the beam quality in the J-PARC accelerator facility. To achieve beam power of 1 MW and beyond, improving the stability and reliability of MEBT1 is an important development issue. The application of permanent magnets to the beam focusing system to the MEBT1 is under consideration to achieve improved stability and reliability. In this presentation, we report the design of focusing magnets using permanent magnet material and the results of the lattice study of MEBT1 with permanent magnets.
