Tamura, Fumihiko; Shimada, Taihei; Yoshii, Masahito*; Omori, Chihiro*; Yamamoto, Masanobu; Nomura, Masahiro; Toda, Makoto*; Hasegawa, Katsushi*; Hara, Keigo*

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.639 - 642, 2015/09

In the J-PARC RCS, magnetic alloy (MA) loaded rf cavities are employed to achieve a high accelerating voltage and to realize the dual harmonic operation, where a single cavity is driven by the fundamental accelerating rf and the second harmonic. The cavity is driven by a class-AB push-pull tetrode amplifier. R&D for a high power balun to mitigate the unbalanced output voltages of two tubes is undergoing. The balun is a rf transformer, which consists of a MA core and high voltage cables. In application to the RCS rf system, the maximum rf voltage is very high in the order of 15kV and suppression of corona dischages is a key. We presentthe techniques to suppress corona discharges. Also, the R&D status of cooling of the MA core and cables.

Kondo, Yasuhiro; Hasegawa, Kazuo; Higashi, Yasuo*; Kumada, Hiroaki*; Kurokawa, Shinichi*; Matsumoto, Hiroshi*; Naito, Fujio*; Yoshioka, Masakazu*

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.948 - 950, 2015/09

An accelerator based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) facility is being planned at Okinawa institute of science and technology (OIST). The proton accelerator consists of a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac and a drift tube linac (DTL). The reqired beam power is 60 kW. The present beam energy and current are 10 MeV and 30 mA, respectively. The pulse length is 3.3 ms and the repetition rate is 60 Hz, therefore, the duty factor is 20%. In this paper, present designof this compact, midium current, high duty proton linac is presented.

Development of accelerator device control system using the machine model

Kawase, Masato; Takahashi, Hiroki

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.764 - 766, 2015/09

In most cases, the legacy method of the design and development of control systems starts after the production of devices. Therefore the control system design has been receiving a lower priority. And because constructing control processes unique for each device increases the number of types of the processes, such control systems lack maintainability, scalability and flexibility. To overcome these problems, the common control system using the model called "Machine Model" has been developed for the needs of constructing a unified control system. It also controls procedure-type processes for device status transitions. It allows us to unify control systems of different kinds of devices. In addition, because this method hides the procedural control of each device from upper application levels, it is possible to reduce the correction time of the application when it's modified or upgraded. This report is about development of the accelerator device control system using the machine model.

Otani, Masashi*; Mibe, Tsutomu*; Yoshida, Mitsuhiro*; Saito, Naohito; Kitamura, Ryo*; Iwashita, Yoshihisa*; Kondo, Yasuhiro

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.56 - 61, 2015/09

We are developing a linac dedicated to the muon acceleration. It enables us to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment with an accuracy of 0.1 ppm and search for electric dipole moment with a sensitivity of 10$$^{-21}$$e$$cdot$$cm to explore beyond Standard Model of elementary particle physics. As a first step for demonstration of the muon acceleration, we are developing the source of slow muon with which RFQ acceleration is conducted. This paper described status of these developments.

Reduction in the fault rate of high voltage power supply for klystrons by using Veto circuit in the J-PARC Linac

Hori, Toshihiko; Shinozaki, Shinichi; Sato, Fumiaki; Fukui, Yuji*; Futatsukawa, Kenta*

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.643 - 646, 2015/09

We are making efforts to decrease the fault rate of the high voltage power supplies for 324 MHz klystron. A new Veto module has been developed to prevent the 25 Hz trigger fan out module from malfunction due to the klystron discharge. As the result of installing the Veto module to the SDTL#16 klystron station, the klystron had never stopped for two months operation although the discharge occurred forty-two times during the operation. It confirmed that the installation of the Veto module is extremely useful to operate the klystron stably.

Usami, Hiroki; Takahashi, Hiroki; Komukai, Satoshi*

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.760 - 763, 2015/09

EU and JAEA are advancing development of Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) control system jointly, but JAEA keeps developing central control system (CCS) mainly. Data transfer during an equipment control system of CCS and EU is performed through EPICS. JAEA is using PostgreSQL as 1 of development elements in CCS and is advancing development of the system to record the whole EPICS data of LIPAc (the data acquisition system). On the other hand, a data acquisition is performed using BEAUTY (Best Ever Archive Toolset, yet) in an element test of equipment at Europe. Therefore "1 client refers to collected data by more than one server machine" with "compatibility securement of data with BEAUTY" in case of development of the data acquisition system of CCS, and, it's necessary to consider "To do a data acquisition and backup work at the same time". For the moment, former 2 are in progress. And a demonstration of the data acquisition system is being performed simultaneously with commissioning in injector. The data acquisition system is collecting data of injector other ones, and the data reference by a monitor with CSS (Control System Studio) is also possible. We will report on the current state of the development of the data acquisition system by making reference to a result of the test by injector commissioning.

Status of the J-PARC RF ion source

Okoshi, Kiyonori; Ueno, Akira; Ikegami, Kiyoshi*; Takagi, Akira*; Asano, Hiroyuki; Oguri, Hidetomo

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.1040 - 1044, 2015/09

In order to satisfy the requirements of the J-PARC second stage, which will produce a 1MW beam, the Cs-free LaB$$_{6}$$-filament-driven H$$^{-}$$ ion source was replaced to a cesiated RF-driven H$$^{-}$$ ion source (RF ion source) during the summer shutdown period in 2014. By developing and testing the RF ion source on an off-line test-stand for about five years, it successfully and stably produced a peak current of more than 60mA within the acceptance of the following RFQ linac with the required beam duty-factor of more than 1.25% (500$$mu$$s $$times$$ 25Hz). For about one year, the RF ion source has been operated with a peak current of 33mA routinely, which causes low beam loss in the J-PARC operated with a 500kW beam. It has been also operated with a peak current of 55mA for a few weeks in each two months for the J-PARC beam study striving toward the 1MW beam operation. The beam current is controlled within the error of $$pm$$0.1mA by feed-backing the RF power and the Cs density during the operation. Except for the only one failure of the internal RF-antenna in the beginning of the operation, there was no serious trouble. The RF ion source with the 33mA peak current operation is successfully operated for approximately 1100 hours.

Development of the prototype accelerator (LIPAc) for the engineering validation of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) which is an accelerator driven neutron source has been progressed at Rokkasho. The LIPAc is a deuteron linear accelerator consisting of an injector, a radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac and a superconducting linac. The objective of LIPAc is to produce a CW beam with the energy and current of 9 MeV and 125 mA, respectively. The injector was developed at CEA/Saclay and succeeded to produce CW proton and deuteron beams of 100 keV/140 mA by autumn 2012. After the test at CEA/Saclay, the injector was shipped to the International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) in Rokkasho, Aomori and started to reassemble from the end of 2013. It was successfully produced proton beams in November 2014 at Rokkasho. While the ion source conditioning was done, the beam test was progressed. In this paper, the present status of the LIPAc injector at Rokkasho with some experimental results will be presented.

Improvement of the J-PARC operation data archiver using HBase/Hadoop

Ikeda, Hiroshi; Kikuzawa, Nobuhiro; Yoshii, Akinobu*; Kato, Yuko

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.1312 - 1316, 2015/09

The Linac and the RCS in J-PARC provide enormous operation data and we have been stored them into PostgreSQL. We are planning to replace it with HBase, a data store specialized for big-data and is on a distributed file system provided by Hadoop, using a cluster with advantages including automatically recovering and easily extending the capacity. In the previous presentation we reported we updated HBase/Hadoop in our test system and we showed issues to fix our tools in the new system, while we also mentioned issues about the construction of our cluster itself. In this presentation we are reporting we have re-designed and re-constructed the cluster with resolving the issues, including enhancing hardware of master nodes, creating automatic scripts to construct nodes, and introducing monitoring tools for nodes. Having accordingly adjusted the configurations of HBase/Hadoop and measured the performance of our new system, we are also reporting its results and considerations.

Hajima, Ryoichi; Sawamura, Masaru; Nagai, Ryoji; Nishimori, Nobuyuki; Hayakawa, Takehito; Shizuma, Toshiyuki; Angell, C.

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.79 - 83, 2015/09

Generation of energy-tunable narrow-bandwidth $$gamma$$-rays via Laser Compton Scattering (LCS) is of great interest for scientific studies and applications of MeV photons which interact with nuclei. We are developing technologies relevant to generation of high-brightness LCS $$gamma$$-ray beams. One of the promising applications of such $$gamma$$-rays is the nondestructive detection and assay of nuclides which are necessary for nuclear security and safeguards. We summarize R-and-D status of LCS $$gamma$$-ray sources and overview future applications.

Maebara, Sunao; Sukegawa, Keiichi*; Tadano, Shuya*; Kasugai, Atsushi; Suzuki, Hiromitsu; Abe, Kazuhiko*; Oku, Ryuji*; Sugimoto, Masayoshi

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.1140 - 1142, 2015/09

For the IFMIF/EVEDA accelerator prototype RFQ linac, the operation frequency of 175MHz was selected to accelerate a large current of 125mA. The driving RF power of 1.28MW by 8 RF input couplers has to be injected to the RFQ cavity for CW operation mode. For each RF input coupler, nominal RF power of 160kW and maximum transmitted RF power of 200kW are required. For this purpose, an RF input coupler with cooling functions was designed, based on a 6 1/8 inch co-axial waveguide, and the RF coupler was manufactured by way of trial. For the trial RF coupler, high-power tests using a high voltage standing wave on a high-Q load circuit wave were carried out, and a 200kW-14 sec CW operation were performed after four days of RF aging. No RF contact defects, unnecessary low-Q value and extraordinary outgassing were observed. This report describes the high-power tests of the RF input coupler.

Nagai, Ryoji; Hajima, Ryoichi; Shizuma, Toshiyuki; Mori, Michiaki; Akagi, Tomoya*; Kosuge, Atsushi*; Honda, Yosuke*; Araki, Sakae*; Terunuma, Nobuhiro*; Urakawa, Junji*

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.1328 - 1330, 2015/09

Accelerator and laser technologies required for laser Compton scattering (LCS) photon source based on an energy-recovery linac (ERL) have been developed at the Compact ERL (cERL) facility. A high-flux, energy tunable, and monochromatic photon source such as the ERL-based LCS photon source is necessary for nondestructive assay of nuclear materials. For the demonstration of the ERL-based LCS photon generation, a laser enhancement cavity was installed at the recirculation loop of the cERL. The electron beam energy, the laser wavelength, and the collision angle are 20 MeV, 1064 nm, and 18 $$^{circ}$$, respectively. The calculated maximum energy of the LCS photons is about 7 keV. A silicon drift detector (SDD) with active area of 17 mm$$^{2}$$ placed 16.6 m from the collision point was used for observation of the LCS photons. As a result of the measurement, the flux on the detector, central energy, and energy width of the LCS photons were obtained as 1200/s, 6.91 keV, and 81 eV, respectively.

Nomura, Masahiro; Yamamoto, Masanobu; Shimada, Taihei; Tamura, Fumihiko; Omori, Chihiro*; Toda, Makoto*; Hasegawa, Katsushi*; Hara, Keigo*; Yoshii, Masahito*

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.1096 - 1110, 2015/09

We are successful in increasing the shunt impedance of the MA cores by applying a transverse magnetic field during annealing. In this paper, we discuss the effects of transverse field annealing on the MA core shunt impedance by comparing two kinds of MA cores, those are the FT3M core that is annealed without any magnetic fields and the FT3L core that is annealed with a transverse magnetic field. We also discuss the shunt impedance of the MA core when the magnetization processes are governed by ideal magnetization rotations. To understand the ribbon thickness and the permeability dependences of the shunt impedance intuitively, we represent the shunt impedance as the resistance of the closed rectangular loop through which the eddy current flows.
