To achieve beam operation at a repetition rate of 25 Hz at high intensities, the RCS was elaborately designed. After starting the RCS operation, we carefully verified the validity of its design and made certain improvements to establish a reliable operation at higher power as possible. Consequently, we demonstrated beam operation at a high power, namely, 1 MW. We then summarized the design, actual performance, and improvements of the RCS to achieve a 1 MW beam.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:64.76(Physics, Particles & Fields)The present four-terminal kicker at the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) has the power-saving benefit due to the doubled excitation currents by shorting two-terminals. On the other hand, beam instabilities are excited by the kicker impedances. In this report, we describe a scheme to reduce the kicker impedances using diodes (nonlinear devices) with resistors, while retaining the benefit of the doubled kicker excitation currents.

The high-intensity proton accelerator adopts a charge exchange injection scheme, which injects with exchanging from negative Hydrogen ion to proton by using carbon foil. This scheme can realize high intensity proton beam but the uncontrolled beam losses occur by scattering at the foil. Additionally, the beam collision at the foil may cause the break itself. Therefore, a new injection scheme for higher intensity is needed as an alternative to the foil. We newly propose and develop a laser stripping injection scheme. At the first step, we propose a proof-of-principle (POP) experiment of the scheme in J-PARC and develop a laser system. In this presentation, we will introduce the laser stripping injection scheme and describe an overview of a POP experiment. We will report a current status of the laser system.

The high-intensity proton accelerator adopts a charge exchange injection scheme, which injects with exchanging from negative Hydrogen ion to proton by using carbon foil. This scheme can realize high intensity proton beam but the uncontrolled beam losses are caused by scattering between beams and the foil. Additionally, the collision may occur the foil beak. Therefore, a new injection scheme for higher intensity is needed as an alternative to the foil. In the J-PARC 3GeV RCS, we newly propose and develop a laser stripping injection scheme. However, it is necessary that laser power is two order higher than latest laser one. To realize this big issue, we develop the laser storage ring, which can provide laser pulse of high repetition rate by recycling one. In this presentation, we will introduce the laser stripping injection scheme and describe the concept of the laser storage ring with high repetition rate and report the current status.

Times Cited Count:16 Percentile:67.45(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), whose beam energy ranges from 400 MeV to 3 GeV and which is located in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, is a kicker-impedance dominant machine, which violates the impedance budget from a classical viewpoint. Contrary to conventional understanding, we have succeeded to accelerate a 1-MW equivalent beam. The machine has some interesting features: for instance, the beam tends to be unstable for the smaller transverse beam size, the beam is stabilized by increasing the peak current . Space charge effects play an important role in the beam instability at the RCS. In this study, a new theory has been developed to calculate the beam growth rate with the head-tail and coupled-bunch modes (
) while taking space charge effects into account. The theory sufficiently explains the distinctive features of the beam instabilities at the RCS.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Chemistry, Analytical)In the 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), we adopted thick Hybrid type Boron-doped Carbon (HBC) stripper foil for the multi-turn H charge-exchange injection. The HBC foil has a great advantage of its longer lifetime against high irradiation. Until now, deformation of the HBC foil is observed, but has not broken during 6 months user operation. However there are high residual dose in the RCS injection area. The highest residual dose is observed at the downstream of titanium chamber flange where the stripper foil is placed. The residual dose was increased with the LINAC energy upgrade from 181 MeV to 400 MeV. It shows that secondary neutrons and protons generated by nuclear reactions in the stripper foil at high energy and high power beam irradiation are the major sources for high residual dose at the injection area. The radio-activation of the stripper foil itself is an intrinsic problem and thus maintenance scenario of the stripper foil at the highly-dosed environment is one of the most important issues for the high intensity accelerators. In the J-PARC RCS, the foil exchange devices were improved according to the new maintenance scenario which aims to keep radiation exposure to staffs as low as possible and to reduce the risk of the radioactive foils break up or disperse. In addition, various analyses of the irradiated stripper foils can be carried out if the foils can be retrieved from the tunnel without breaking.

The new injection bump power supply for the shift bump magnet of the beam injection sub-systems at the J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) 3-GeV RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) has been developed and manufactured. The power capacity of the new power supply was more than doubled with the injection beam energy upgrading of the LINAC (Linear Accelerator) from 181 MeV to 400 MeV. Furthermore, the low ripple noise on the output current was required to prevent the resonance of the RF shield loop at the ceramic duct with the excitation magnetic field. The power supply newly adopted a capacitor commutation method to form the trapezoid waveform pattern (bump waveform). This paper reports characteristic about the new power supply.
