Low-intensity beam studies revealed considerable excitation of the half-integer random resonance. This half-integer random resonance was successfully compensated using trim quadrupole magnets without exciting other higher-order resonances. By implementing a conventional theoretical procedure based on resonance driving terms, we identified the leakage field from extraction magnets as the primary source of the error field driving the random resonance. High-intensity beam studies confirmed that our resonance compensation approach substantially mitigated beam loss in higher-tune regions, making it highly effective in improving operating point tunability.

Further beam power ramp-up going beyond the design output beam power of 1 MW is proceeding in the J-PARC RCS. In MW-class rings, the residual radioactivity accompanying the beam loss strictly limits the available beam power. While the current beam loss is mitigated to 0.1% level at the designed beam power, further beam loss mitigation prepared for the beam power ramp-up is required. The resonance crossing of the tune spread can cause unallowable beam loss. Since the beam power ramp-up definitely extends the space-charge-induced tune spread, the sufficiently wide stability region in the betatron tune map must be secured for low beam loss. We conducted low-intensity beam studies on the half-integer random resonances that likely have significant effects on the width of the stability region. Thanks to the simplification coming from the mitigation of the space-charge force, the successful compensation of the resonance is realized by using the trim quadrupole magnets. In the high-intensity beam studies, the resonance compensation was found to be beneficial in extending the stability region.

The linac and 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex was designed to provide 1-MW proton beams to the following facilities. Thanks to the improvement works of the accelerator system, we successfully accelerate 1-MW beam with quite small beam loss. Currently, the beam power of RCS is limited by the lack of anode current in the RF cavity system rather than the beam loss. Recently we developed a new acceleration cavity that can accelerate a beam with less anode current. This new cavity enables us not only to reduce requirement of the anode power supply but also to accelerate more than 1-MW beam. We have started to consider the way to achieve beyond 1-MW beam acceleration. So far, it is expected that up to 1.5-MW beam can be accelerated after replacement of the RF cavity. We have also been continuing study to achieve up to 2 MW beam in J-PARC RCS.

In the J -PARC 3GeV synchrotron accelerator (RCS), a new signal processing system for beam monitors is been developing to replace the existing system for the main beam monitors that monitor the stability of the accelerator: beam loss monitor, beam position monitor and beam current monitor. The new system will consist of a TAG server and an ADC module that can be used commonly for the three main monitors. The main design concepts of the new system are: (1) the TAG server divides various beam J-PARC tag information to each ADC module, (2) the ADC module converts acquisition data from beam monitors to digital signals by ADC and performs high-speed analysis by FPGA with switching analysis methods to suit each monitor, (3) the ADC module periodically outputs the analysis data with tag information by packing the signal processing data of all shots for about 10 seconds, and also outputs any one shot data on-demand, and (4) the raw waveform data, the latest four shots of FFT-related data in the process of analysis and bunch data for each cycle are stored in the internal memory of the ADC module, and the data can be read out as needed. In this presentation, we will report on the progress of the data acquisition test of tag information reading and beam monitor signals using the prototype under development.

We have been developing "Non-destructive electrostatic septum" for a slow extraction. This septum has multiple electrodes placed around the region without the beam hitting and separate the beam by its electric field. To evaluate its electric field, we have built a prototype septum and a test machine, which consists of an electron gun and monitors. This test machine can measure the electric field indirectly by using a narrow electron beam. The experiment results of prototype septum is good agreement with the calculation one. However, this electric field distribution is not enough to separate the beam. A step function-like electric field distribution is ideal for the beam separation with minimal negative effect on the beam. We have studied to improve the electrode configuration to match the beam shape. In this paper, we present the result of the electric field measurements and the septum improvement. Additionally, we describe the future plan of this development.

Synchrotron accelerators realize physics experiments and radiation cancer treatment using the slow extraction technique, in which beams are stored in the ring and gradually delivered. We have devised and are currently developing a "non-destructive electrostatic septum" based on a new method, which in principle cannot be solved by conventional methods and is a cause of equipment failure and output limitation. It is ideal to generate a force distribution similar to a staircase function with discontinuous gaps at the boundary. In this presentation, we will show the calculation method for optimizing the electrode and wire configuration to generate a Lorentz force with a distribution similar to a staircase function in vacuum, and the calculation results of the beam breakup due to the generated Lorentz force. The compact proof-of-principle machine developed for the ongoing demonstration of this method will also be introduced.

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：37.99(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In the low-energy region of a high-intensity ion linac, a strong space-charge field causes a rapid beam emittance growth over a short distance of only few meters. The beam emittance growth leads to a beam loss and the machine activation raising a serious issue for regular maintenance of the accelerator component and beam power ramp up. In this work, we studied the mechanism of beam emittance growth due to the space-charge field based on three-dimensional particle-tracking simulation and theoretical considerations. Numerical simulations done for the high-intensity linac at J-PARC shows that the nonlinear terms in the space-charge field directly cause a beam emittance growth and beam halo formation. Then, we also propose a method to mitigate the beam emittance growth by using an octupole magnetic field, which arises as one of the nonlinear terms in the space-charge field. By applying this method in the simulation, we have succeeded mitigating the beam emittance growth.

To realize more stable operation of the J-PARC accelerators, we have a re-design plan of an MEBT1 (Medium Energy Beam Transport). At the J-PARC Linac, the MEBT1 has transverse and longitudinal beam matching section for the DTLs. However there are some locally activated spots in DTL area at the current beam power level. To reduce beam loss during a beam acceleration at the DTLs is a most important task for a stable user operation. The first thing we should do is investigation a connection between beam quality in the MEBT1 and parameters of the upstream hardware. In this presentation, we will report a high intensity beam study results at the MEBT1.

The increase of space charge effect in high intensity beam causes the increase of the beam-loss. Beam loss limits beam intensity for accelerator equipment activation. Therefore, it is important to suppress the emittance growth due to the space charge effect. I focused on the low energy region in the linac where the space charge effect becomes remarkable. In order to identify the origin of the emittance growth due to the effect, a simulation was performed with a 3-D particle-in-cell simulation code, and evaluated the influence of the effects in the J-PARC medium energy beam transport line (MEBT1) entrance to DTL exit. As a result, it was confirmed that distortion of phase space distribution occurred due to nonlinear space charge force and that leading to emittance growth. I proposed to suppress the emittance growth by using an octupole magnet that gives nonlinear force to the beam. We report the new method and simulation results.

While the current beam loss in the RCS is successfully mitigated to 0.1% level, further reduction in the beam loss prepared for the ongoing beam power ramp-up is essential. Especially, securing sufficient dynamic aperture for the off-momentum particle is important to reduce beam loss since the RCS features a large momentum acceptance. For this purpose, we constructed a new 3rd-order resonance compensation method using the octupole field together with the sextupole field. This method allows one to achieve the 3rd-order resonance compensation regardless of the momentum deviation of the particle. Our simulation shows a substantial improvement in the dynamic aperture for the off-momentum particles with the proper addition of the octupole field. The details of the newly constructed method and simulation results will be presented in this meeting.

Beam intensity in a high-intensity proton accelerator is an important parameter in user experimental facilities. Beam emittance growth and beam loss due to space charge effect make a limit of beam power from the view point of high activation at devices. In order to identify the source of beam emittance growth due to space charge effect, we performed beam simulation by using a model of J-PARC Linac. As the result, nonlinear component of space charge force causes a strain of beam distribution and emittance growth. We proposed a new method for suppression of the nonlinear component by using multipole magnet and simulated the method in our model. As the result, we indicated that the growth is suppressed by using the nonlinear field. In my presentation, we report the new method and simulation results.

High intensity beam also increases the beam loss, which originates from the space charge effect, so that the intensity is limited from the maintenance point of view. In the early acceleration region where the space charge field is very strong, its nonlinearity causes a rapid emittance increase over a short distance. Although this emittance growth has a small effect on the activation at that point, it causes an increase in the beam loss after that point. In this study, we propose a new method to suppress this emittance growth by compensating the nonlinear term of the space charge field by inducing a nonlinear octupole magnetic field, and perform a beam simulation of the J-PARC linac model using the IMPACT. As a result, it was confirmed that the expansion of the beam distribution in the outer core and the beam loss was suppressed. In this presentation, the results of the space charge compensation will be reported and the experimental plan will be discussed.

We have realized a design output beam power of 1 MW of the 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), and now we are proceeding further beam power ramp-up aiming at an output beam power beyond the design. In MW-class high-power proton machines such as the RCS, the beam loss will produce high levels of radioactivity and limit the available beam power. While the current beam loss is successfully reduced to the order of 0.1% at the designed beam power, further beam loss mitigation prepared for the beam power ramp-up is required. For this purpose, we conducted a series of low-intensity beam tests to investigate the lattice imperfection of the RCS. It was confirmed that the half-integer random resonance was significantly excited and was able to be compensated by the proper addition of the quadrupole field using the trim quadrupole magnets. In addition, the effect of the resonance compensation was verified in the high-intensity beam tests.
