We have significant progress on the preparation of POP (proof-of-principle) demonstration of 400 MeV H
stripping to proton by using only lasers at J-PARC RCS. The motivation of this research is to establish H charge-exchange injection by using lasers instead of a stripper foil conventionally used at present. A short foil lifetime and residual radiation caused by the foil scattering beam loss are extremely serious issues, especially at high-intensity operation. The R&D of the laser system is in good progress through experimental studies for 3 MeV H beam at present. We developed a multi-reflection laser cavity system to reduce the seed laser power, which was also successfully tested for 3 MeV H beam neutralization in July, 2021. Further development of the whole laser system is continued to start the POP demonstration study in 2022.

In the 3-GeV RCS of J-PARC, a laser stripping of 400 MeV H (negative hydrogen) to proton for charge-exchange injection (CEI) is under studied. The aim is to overcome the issues and limitations associated with a stripper foil used for that purpose. To reduce the laser power, which is one of the main issues with laser stripping, we consider a two mirror multi-pass laser system for multiple interactions of the H beam with reflected laser light. The seed laser energy can be significantly reduced, which is almost inversely proportional number of interactions. At present we are developing such a cavity with Nd:YAG laser for H neutralization to H
, which will be first tested for 3 MeV H beam at J-PARC RFQ test facility. Once the system is developed for the 3-MeV H, it can be easily applied for the 400 MeV H stripping. The development status of the laser system and details of experimental strategies are presented.
