The beam in the J-PARC RCS has to be extracted with the proper timingand phase to the MR (main ring) and the neutron target in the MLF (material and life science facility). The neutron beamfrom the neutron target is led to the group of spectrometers, such asthe fermi chopper. The choppers and the beam must be precisely synchronized to achieve high energy resolution. Also, the MR injection requires the proper RF bucket selection andprecise beam phase control to avoid the longitudinal dipole oscillations. In this presentation we describe the requirements of the beamsynchronization, the operational principle, and the newly developedmodules for the synchronization.
