Two RF-deflecting cavities as a chopper and a beam scraper have been used in the MEBT between a 324 MHz RFQ and a 50-MeV DTL of the J-PARC Linac. We plan to increase a peak beam current up to 50 mA by replacing an ion source and a RFQ after the summer shutdown in 2014. Beam loss occurs in the RF chopper for the 50 mA operation. Moreover, the beam scraper cannot fully stand the beam load with 50 mA, 0.5 ms, 3 MeV, and 25 Hz. We have studied the new RF chopper cavity by using HFSS code and the tandem scraper system with two scrapers.

Two RF-deflecting cavities as the chopper have been used in the MEBT between a 324 MHz RFQ and a 50-MeV DTL of the J-PARC Linac. A fast rise/fall time of the pulse is a fundamental requirement to minimize any beam losses due to insufficient deflection to some beam bunches during the transient time. We have studied the RF chopper cavity to speed up the transient time. This paper describes the design of the new RF chopper by using HFSS code.

An operation of a DTL and a Separated type DTL (SDTL) of a J-PARC started in November 2006. The DTL and SDTL are currently running stable and accelerating the beam. To maintain the stable operation of the DTL and SDTL, we have done the maintenance of various equipment for the tank and solved many troubles. In this paper, we will present the operation experiences of the DTL and the SDTL.

The output energy of the J-PARC proton linac will be upgraded from 181 to 400 MeV in the next two years by adding high-b acceleration sections. The upgrade of the FPGA-based digital LLRF controller for the 400 MeV linac will be presented in this paper. This new LLRF controller works for both the 324-MHz low-b and 972-MHz high-b sections. Many functions have been added into the LLRF controller, such as (1) working for different RF systems, (2) gradually increasing the feedback gains in the feedback loop instead of fixed ones, (3) automatic chopped beam compensation, (4) automatically switching the beam loading compensation in accordance with different beam operation mode, (5) input RF-frequency tuning to match the RF cavities during RF start-up, and (6) auto-tuning of the RF cavity tuner by detecting the phase curve of the RF cavity during the field decay instead of the phase difference between the cavity input and output signals.

The J-PARC RFQ accelerates a negative hydrogen beam from 50 keV to 3 MeV. Beam commissioning of the J-PARC linac started in November 2006 and the linac has delivered beams to the 3 GeV synchrotron since September 2007. Trip rates of the RFQ, however, unexpectedly increased in September 2008. We tried to recover by tender conditioning, improvement of vacuum properties, etc. User operations for the Material and Life Experimental Facilities were successfully carried out at 20 kW in June 2009, and the beam power was increased to 120 kW in November. The high power operation at 300 kW for one hour was also demonstrated. Status and improvement of the J-PARC RFQ are presented.

The J-PARC DTL and SDTL have been operated since 2006. These linacs accelerate an H ion beam stably now. But we have ever suffered from some troubles. These are the vacuum, the cooling water and the RF trouble mainly. In this paper, these troubles that happened to the DTL and SDTL are reported.

The J-PARC RFQ (length 3.1m, 4-vane type, 324 MHz) accelerates a beam from the ion source to the DTL. The beam test of the linac was started in November 2006 and 181 MeV beam was successfully accelerated in January 2007. Since then, the linac has been delivered beams for commissioning of the linac itself, downstream accelerators and facilities. Trip rates of the RFQ, however, suddenly increased in Autumn 2008, and we are suffering from this issue for user run operation. We tried to recover by tender conditioning, modification of RF control, improvement of vacuum and so on. We manage to have beam operation. In this report, we describe the status of the RFQ.

An ACS (Annular Coupled Structure) module has been developing for the 190-MeV to 400-MeV part of the J-PARC Linac. We have conducted the high power test of the first ACS module which consists of two accelerating tanks with 17 cells and a bridge tank with 9 cells. This paper describes results of the high power RF tests. The module achieved an average axial accelerating gradient of E0 = 4.5 MV/m at 1.8 MW RF input power, 0.6 ms pulse width, and 50 Hz repetition rate.

In the J-PARC LINAC, upgrade of beam diagnostics of LEBT and MEBT is taken. Three beam current monitors and two beam phase monitors are added. In the LEBT and MEBT section, large number of accelerator devices are placed. Therefore to save the space, several modifications are needed, for example, additional monitors need to be welded with each other. Those details of the upgrade of beam diagnostics system are described.

J-PARC linear accelerator components are now being installed in the accelerator tunnel. Markings are placed on the floor, which act as a reference for the initial alignment at the installation. A planned and ongoing alignment schemes for the installation of linac components and watching the long term motion of the building are described.

In J-PARC linac, a precise alignment of accelerator components is essential for high quality beam acceleration. Markings have been placed on the floor, which act as a reference for the initial alignment at the installation. For a straight line alignment, the wire position sensor is placed on the offset position with respect to the beam center by a target holder. The hydrostatic levering system is used for watching the floor elevation over the long period.

A commissioning of the J-PARC linac DTL1 is now under way at KEK. A 30mA H beam was accelerated to 19.7-MeV, and 100% transmission was obtained with a 20-msec-pulse-width and 12.5-Hz-repetition beam. In this paper, present status of the DTL1 commissioning and preliminary results of the commissioning, such as emittance measurements, are presented.
