On 2020, the 8 hours operation of the J-PARC cesiated RF-driven H ion source (IS) with a 69.9 keV 120 mA beam was reported. Many times and large amount of Cs and HO injections were required. The very high plasma etectrode temperature (T) of 245C suggests a novel cesiation surviving against high T and plasma bombardments. A procedure based upon a hypothesis of the HO (chemically bound with Mo) mediated cesiation was examined. The innovative cesiation derived a 76.5 keV 145 mA beam stably with the small beam fluctuation and transverse emittances suitable for RFQs of high energy LINACs. Furthermore, the beam intensity for the J-PARC IS operation energy of 52.5 keV was increased from 72 mA to 83 mA which should contribute for the stable J-PARC LINAC 60 mA operation in near future.

Oscillation of the negative hydrogen ion (H) beam phase space in Radio Frequency (RF) ion source is investigated by a simple 3D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) model which takes into account the transport processes of electron, proton and H in the extraction region. The calculation domain is in vicinity of the single beam aperture in J-PARC ion source configuration. In order to understand relation between the plasma density oscillation and the extracted H beam characteristics, the input electron and proton fluxes from the driver region are varied parametrically with the 1st and the 2nd harmonics of the J-PARC RF frequency (2 or 4 MHz). The numerical results give an idea to the main physical processes between the oscillations of the plasma parameters and the extracted H ion trajectories in the different RF phases. Countermeasures to reduce the oscillation mechanisms are also discussed in the presentation.

We have been conducting the test of a new J-PARC-made internal antenna for the J-PARC RF-driven cesiated H ion source. After the development of the first J-PARC-made antenna, the composition of the porcelain enamel coating of the antenna was changed because we were afraid of the outgassing of the impurities from the previous antenna coating. During the test of high-density plasma production by the new antenna, we monitored the outgassing characteristics of the new antenna by measuring mass spectrometry and optical spectrum analysis. It is confirmed that no remarkable impurities were emitted from the new antenna. We also carried out the H beam extraction and measured the H beam characteristics by using the new antenna. It is found that the emittances of the H beam extracted from the J-PARC RF-driven cesiated H ion source by using the new antenna were similar to those in the case by using the SNS-made antenna. To accelerate the endurance test of the new antenna, we applied the antenna for the high-density plasma production to the 5% duty factor (1 ms pulse width with 50 Hz repetition rate) with the 2 MHz RF input power of approximately 60 kW, whose values were much higher than those in the J-PARC nominal operation; 0.8 ms pulse width with 25 Hz repetition rate (the duty factor of 2%) with the RF input power of approximately 30 kW. This presentation shows the results of the characteristics of the new J-PARC-made antenna and discusses the feasibility of the new antenna for use in the J-PARC accelerator operation.

An internal antenna type RF driven negative hydrogen (H) ion source supplies beams to the J-PARC accelerator facility. The H ion beam current exhibits high stability, while it fluctuates with less than 5% amplitude of the DC current when a Faraday cup measures the current extracted from the source mounted on a test stand. Two frequencies are identified as the main oscillation components, 2 MHz and 4 MHz which are the driving RF frequency and the second harmonics, respectively. The amplitude levels of these components appear larger as parts of the beam directing specific angles passing through a slit are detected. A possible reason for observing a small amplitude oscillation in the total beam intensity is the averaged phase-shift of the local beam depending upon the position of the H ion production and the succeeding trajectory reaching the Faraday cup. To confirm if the phase-shift is the main reason for diminishing the oscillation amplitude for the total beam, the phase-shift between the 2 MHz and 4 MHz components were measured for beams passing through a 0.1 mm slit coupled to a Faraday cup having a 0.1 mm entrance slit. The result indicated the phase-shift changed substantially depending upon the position, but no simple model can explain the measured spatial distribution of the phase-shift. Further attempts will be made to clarify the beam dynamics relevant to the H ion beam transport including the measurements of the beam current phase-shift with respect to the RF antenna current, and the time evolution of Balmer- light emission.

The mitigation of heat loading is one of the important issues for beam instrumentation to measure the high-power proton beam. Recently, the highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) material was used for the target probe of the bunch-shape monitor at the front-end in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). Since the thermal conductivity of the HOPG is high, it is suitable to measure the beam profile under the condition of high heat loading. As an application of the HOPG, for example, the thin HOPG may be used as a substitutive material of the target wire for the transverse profile monitor such as the wire scanner monitor. The possibility of the HOPG target for the beam profile monitor is discussed from some results of the test experiment using the 3-MeV negative hydrogen ion beam at the test stand.

Longitudinal phase space tomography is an effective measurement tool for acquiring the longitudinal phase space distribution. For the J-PARC synchrotrons, tomography, which can take into account the beam dynamics such as longitudinal space charge effect and nonlinearity, is desired, as the beam power increases. In this study, for the J-PARC synchrotron, the CERN's tomography, which employs the hybrid algorithm that can consider the beam dynamics for reconstruction, is introduced and benchmarked. The benchmark results show that the CERN's tomography has the ability to measure the longitudinal phase space distribution accurately, in the high-power beam operation at the J-PARC synchrotrons.

To observe flow velocity distributions by Neutron Imaging, suitable tracer is necessary. The requirements are its density, its visibility, and its wettability (if applied to liquid metal). Gold cadmium tracers have been developed for the Pb-Bi two-phase flow, however, the visibility have not been verified depending on the particle size and the measurement system. As the candidates of tracer particles, Ag, Cd, Au-Cd, and Ag-Cd have been tested by varying its compositions and its diameters. Results show enough visibility if the particles size is larger than 1mm. In addition, Cd tracer particles were applied to the fluidized bed, where the bed materials are metallic particle made of stainless steel, with 1mm diameter. The diameter of Cd trace is about 1.5 mm. From the neutron imaging, the visibility of the tracers is enough to measure the velocity distributions in the fluidized bed.

We developed a method to obtain the areal density distribution of boron, which has a large neutron cross section, by means of an energy resolved neutron imaging. Commonly in a measurement of elements with very high neutron sensitivity, the quantitative measurement becomes more difficult with the amount of element due to the neutron self-shielding effect. To avoid this effect, an energy-resolved method using known cross section data was attempted, and a quantitative imaging of such elements was demonstrated at the MLF of J-PARC. This presentation introduces a measurement of melted simulated-fuel assemblies obtained in the research of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after the severe accident. Energy-dependent neutron transmission rates of the samples were measured by a neutron imaging detector, and were analyzed to obtained the areal density of boron at each position.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.21(Physics, Applied)In the last decade, non-destructive elemental analysis using negative muon beams advanced significantly. This method can be used to determine the elemental composition of bulk materials without causing damage. In this study, we performed a negative muon irradiation experiment for a Northwest Africa 482 lunar meteorite (NWA482), which was installed in a stainless steel analysis chamber. The analysis chamber was filled with helium gas to suppress the background signals caused by air-scattering muons. The muonic X-rays from Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, Si, and O in the samples were detected using six high-purity germanium semiconductor detectors arranged around the analysis chamber. To correct the X-ray self-absorption effect of the samples, a Monte-Carlo simulation using Geant4 toolkit was used. Based on the quantitative analysis for muonic X-ray measurement with the correction application from the simulation, we successfully investigated the analytical sensitivity of each element in meteorites based on the NWA482 data.

A power upgrade of existing 8 kW solid-state driver amplifier is required for the acceleration of high intensity proton beams on the J-PARC 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron. The development of a 25 kW amplifier with gallium nitride (GaN) HEMTs, based on 6.4 kW modules is on going. The combiner is a key component to achieve such a high output power over the wide bandwidth required for multi-harmonic rf operation. This paper presents preliminary design of the combiner. The circuit simulation setup and results, including the realistic magnetic core characteristics and frequency response of the cable are reported.
