The 3GeV RCS of J-PARC accelerates proton beams with a maximum beam intensity of 8e13 ppp, utilizing the features of magnetic alloy (MA) cavities. The beam is extracted in a single turn by kicker magnets, and immediately after the beam is extracted, a short voltage jump occurs in the cavity. This is due to a delay in the voltage control feedback, which takes a certain amount of time to respond to the step-like decrease of beam current upon single-turn extraction. In a wideband (Q=2) MA cavity, this response delay is observed as a voltage jump. This voltage jump can cause damage to the cavity system if the voltage at the time of extraction is high. Therefore, we prepared a logic to suppress the output synchronously with the beam extraction as a function of the LLRF control system. The details of the function and test results are reported.

The J-PARC 3GeV synchrotron (RCS) provides high intensity proton beams to the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) and the Main Ring (MR). The harmonic number (h) of the RCS is 2 and the RCS normally accelerates two bunches. For some experiments at the MLF, a single bunch is preferred. In this case, one of the rf bucket is filled with protons and the other is empty. Therefore the beam intensity is halved. If the RCS can accelerate with h=1, the intensity per bunch can be doubled, enabling to provide single bunch beams to the MLF with the maximum intensity. This possibly increases the MR beam power by injecting high intensity single bunches eight times. In this presentation, we report mainly on the consideration of h=1 acceleration in the RCS by longitudinal simulations.

The application of MA cores to the accelerating rf cavities in high intensity proton synchrotrons was pioneered for the J-PARC synchrotrons. The MA cavities can generate high accelerating voltages. The wideband frequency response of the MA cavity enables the frequency sweep without the tuning loop. The dual harmonic operation is indispensable for the longitudinal bunch shaping to alleviate the space charge effects in the RCS. These advantages of the MA cavity are also disadvantages when looking at them from a different perspective. Since the wake voltage consists of several harmonics, the beam loading compensation must be multiharmonic. The operation of tubes in the final stage amplifier is not trivial when accelerating very high intensity beams; the output current is high and the anode voltage is also multiharmonic. We summarize our effort against these issues in the operation of the RCS and MR for more than 10 years.

This study reports grain boundary (GB) energy calculations for 46 symmetric-tilt GBs in -iron using molecular mechanics based on an artificial neural network (ANN) potential and compares the results with calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT), the embedded atom method (EAM), and the modified EAM (MEAM). The results by the ANN potential are in excellent agreement with those of the DFT (5% on average), while the EAM and MEAM significantly differ from the DFT results (about 27% on average). In a uniaxial tensile calculation of GB, the ANN potential reproduced the brittle fracture tendency of the GB observed in the DFT while the EAM and MEAM mistakenly showed ductile behaviors. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the ANN potential in calculating grain boundaries of iron, which is in high demand in modern industry.

In this study, the plastic collapse strength of asymmetry multiple circumferential notched stainless steel pipes subjected to combined axial tension and bending is investigated experimentally and is compared with the theoretical plastic collapse strength. In addition, the potential is discussed for the simplification of structural integrity evaluation of multiple cracked piping. The integrity of the asymmetry multiple circumferential notched stainless steel pipes subjected to combined axial tension and bending can be evaluated conservatively using the theoretical plastic collapse strength for the pipe with multiple notches calculated based on the elastic-perfectly plastic model.
