The installation of Cs-seeded RF-driven H
ion source (RF ion source) to J-PARC LINAC is scheduled in 2014. Similarly the replacement of RFQ III from RFQ is scheduled in 2014. The test stand of the cooperation of RF ion source & RFQ III is being made in the J-PARC LINAC building for the beam acceleration examination now. The J-PARC control group designed test stand control system by thinking that test stand control system had to be equal to J-PARC accelerator control system. Specifically, Introduction of MPS for protect an apparatus. Implementation of EPICS environment for remotely controlling the equipment. It is construction of the timing system for sending a timing signal to each accelerator component device. This report describes construction of the control system in a test stand.

In J-PARC linac, a project for energy and intensity upgrade has been progressed since 2009 using Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) cavities. Because the longitudinal matching of the injection beam to the ACS cavities is required as well as the transverse matching, we decided to employ the bunch shape monitors (BSM's) to measure the longitudinal beam profile. We developed three BSM's in collaboration with INR (Institute for Nuclear Research: Russia) for the upstream part of the ACS section. We introduce the structure of BSM and mention the measured results taken during the commissioning of BSM.

In J-PARC linac, a project for energy and intensity upgrade has been progressed using 50 mA RFQ(Radio-Frequency-Quadrupole) linac cavity. Because the RFQ had already fabricated, test stand for its performance test was newly produced. In the test stand, we designed and fabricated the monitoring system including beam current monitors for the beam transmission measurement and the beam phase monitors for the energy measurement. We will refer the detail of the monitoring system and the data obtained during the performance test. New testing devices are also mentioned.

J-PARC RCS and MR employ RF cavities loaded with Magnetic Alloy (MA) cores. To achieve the high shunt impedance, we measured the shunt impedance with changing the core filling factor, ribbon thickness, and magnetization process. The shunt impedance was reduced in despite of the filling factor increase because the strong winding tension deteriorate the magnetic property. The MA core with thin ribbons and the MA core that is magnetized by a rotation process show high permeability in the accelerating frequency region, and those MA cores show the high shunt impedance consequently.

A J-PARC ion source driven with a LaB6 filament is being operated without any serious trouble since the restoration from the earthquake. The H ion current from the source is routinely restricted 19 mA for the filament lifetime. In order to increase the beam power at the linac beam operation, the beam current from the ion source was increased to 22 mA. At this operation, the filament lifetime was estimated by the reduction in the filament current. According to the steep reduction in the filament current, the break of the filament was predicted. Although the filament has broken after 10 h from the steep current reduction, the beam operation was restarted 8 h later by the preparation for the exchange of new filament. At the study time for the 3 GeV synchrotron, the ion source was operated at 30 mA for 8 days.

The charge conversion foil used with a J-PARC 3GeV synchrotron (RCS: Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) is a thin film made from carbon about 1 micrometer thick, and it radioactivates it by continuing being irradiated with a beam. Moreover, generally it is thought that degradation progresses and foil itself breaks easily. However, when dealing with the foil after irradiation, the measure against the danger of the contamination and the contamination in the living body by foil dispersing is one of the subjects. So, in RCS, the foil exchange booth for collecting the radioactivated foil safely and certainly was installed. Even when dispersing foil temporarily, the radioactivated foil can be shut up only in Booth and a worker's contamination and contamination of work area could be prevented. Moreover, when it sees from a viewpoint of the performance gain of foil, analysis and observation of the collected foil are one of the important issues. Then, in order to observe the radioactivated foil after beam irradiation, the transparent protective case which can be sealed with a foil frame simple substance was developed. In this announcement, the equipment developed in order to collect the charge conversion foil after beam irradiation, and the established technique are announced in detail.

RCS has loaded with the foil of 15 sheets including a reserve into equipment so that it can exchange in a short time, when foil is damaged also in a beam operating period. It is difficult for foil to be made of a thin film about 1 micrometer thick, and to treat as it is. Then, foil is fixed to the frame which stuck the SiC fiber, and foil is not touched, but only a frame is held, and it enabled it to operate it. The following preparations are needed as new foil exchange work. (1) Exfoliation and recovery of foil which have been vapor-deposited to glass substrate. (2) Dryness and logging of exfoliative foil. (3) Preparation of SiC wire, and attachment on frame. (4) Fix foil to a frame. (5) Although charge on a magazine-rack was performed manually altogether until now, there were many work man days, and the quality of the prepared foil had variation. Then, equipment required in order to secure reproducibility was developed. The technique for working efficiently simultaneously was established. In this announcement, the technique established until now and the developed jigs are announced in detail.

By introducing a new ion source and a new RFQ, beam current will increase from 20 mA to 50 mA. According to an increase of the beam current, wasted beam that should not be accelerated in the following accelerator sections also increase. To stop wasted beam, there is a beam scraper in the MEBT region just after the RFQ at the beam energy of 3 MeV. An existing beam scraper is made of carbon composite material and it has a dent caused by merely small beam current of 20 mA in daily operation. A new scraper that endures upgraded beam current of 50 mA is the essential item for the beam power upgrade of J-PARC. Thermal simulations on several materials have been performed with the ANSYS code assuming the upgraded beam power. They revealed that maximum temperatures in a beam cycle are much higher than their melting points in some materials and consequently that lessening of heat load for a scraper by beam operation is an essential factor.

The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) facilities were extensively damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 2011. We restarted the beam operation in December 2011 after the recovery works. However, a multipactor problem of SDTL5B cavity was occurred after the beam restoration. To solve this problem, we performed the analysis of the impurities on the inner surface of the cavity, adopted the countermeasure that is the improvement of the vacuum condition of the cavity and performed the conditioning of the cavity carefully in the summer maintenance period of 2012. By adopting the countermeasure and conditioning, the multipactor problem improved just after the beam restoration and the operation power had been decreased. We present the result of the countermeasures and the present operation status of the SDTL5 in this report.

J-PARC is consists of much equipment. In Linac and 3GeV synchrotron, the data of over the 64,000 EPICS records for these apparatus control is being collected. The data has been being stored by a RDB system using PostgreSQL now, but it is not enough in availability, performance, and extendibility. Therefore, the new system architecture is required, which is rich in the pliability and can respond to the data increasing continuously for years to come. In order to cope with this problem, we considered adoption of the distributed database architecture and constructed the demonstration system using HBase. We present results of these demonstration.

The data acquisition in J-PARC LINAC/RCS are two methods of data archiving of polling data via EPICS Channel Access and synchronized waveform data. The synchronized waveform data are collected by several Wave Endless Recorders (WER). The WER counts the trigger number and holds waveform data in a ring buffer memory. We developed a Trigger Counter in order to manage the trigger number of each WER and synchronize the trigger number of each WER via LAN. At present, in order to install the waveform data synchronization system, we carried out verification using the timing test bench. This report presents about the waveform data synchronization system and future plan of the data acquisition system.

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.
