In the J-PARC linac, an intermediate-pulse with the comb-like structure is shaped by kicking an unwanted beam by the chopper cavity. Therefore, the cavities lying downstream of the RF-chopper have the beam loading with this beam shape. The present feedforward system which assumes the averaged beam current and not the comb-like beam was operated in the present LLRF, because the beam current in the linac was lower than the design value. However, it has been difficult that the required precision for the RF system is satisfied with increasing beam current. Thus, we performed the beam study of the beam loading compensation with the same shapes as the intermediate-pulses. The positive results for the cavities of SDTL and DTL with high Q values were obtained compared to the present system. On the other hand, when this compensation system was used in the case of ACS cavities, the neighbor modes were excited by the input RF. We have to improve the FF system for the operation against the real beam.

In the J-PARC linac, an RF deflector installed in 3-MeV Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT1) is used to kick the unnecessary beam and the intermediate-pulse like a comb is created. The kicked beam leads to a scraper downstream the RF deflector and lose all kinetic energy. When the beam current increases to 50 mA of the design value, the heat load of a scraper to irradiate the kicked beam increases and its surface is predicted to be damaged. Therefore, we are preparing the tandem scrapers to reduce the damage. The half of the kicked beam leads to a scraper and the residual is to the other. The chopping operation is achieved by rotating the phase of the RF deflector in the periodic cycles by the LLRF system. We will introduce the phase rotation system and the test results.

A new RF reference signal oscillator, which can provide signals of not only 312 MHz signal but also 960 MHz in synchronism with the 12 MHz J-PARC master clock, was installed at J-PARC LINAC for the 400 MeV upgrade. The phase noise of the output signal in this module was measured by the signal source analyzer. The jitter of the output signal, which was estimated from the integration of phase noise from 10 Hz to 1 MHz, becomes about 240 fsec and was one order smaller than that of the old system (about 1700 fsec). However, the original performance of this module is expected to be better. It's thought to be due to the 12 MHz input signal in this module. Therefore, the path of the 12 MHz master clock was optimized except for unnecessary modules. In addition, necessary modules, the O/E and E/O modules, were selected for the less phase noise in some kind of modules with the same features. Then, the jitter of the output signal in the RF reference signal oscillator improved to be about 41 fsec, which is less than one fifth that before the optimization. This value satisfies the required phase stability (
0.3
). Moreover, the high-accuracy synchronism of two kinds of frequency, 324 MHz and 972 MHz, was confirmed by the sampling oscilloscope. Therefore the RF reference signal with more precision can be provided by this system after the upgrade.

Two RF-deflecting cavities as the chopper have been used in the MEBT between a 324 MHz RFQ and a 50-MeV DTL of the J-PARC Linac. A fast rise/fall time of the pulse is a fundamental requirement to minimize any beam losses due to insufficient deflection to some beam bunches during the transient time. We have studied the RF chopper cavity to speed up the transient time. This paper describes the design of the new RF chopper by using HFSS code.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Physics, Applied)Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) will be one of the highest intensity proton accelerators in the world aiming to realize 1 MW class of the beam power. The accelerator consists of a 400-MeV linac, a 3-GeV rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS) and a main ring synchrotron (MR), and the accelerated beam is applied to several experimental facilities. The acceleration field error in all of them should be within 1% in amplitude and 1 degree in phase because the momentum spread of the RCS injection beam is required to be within 0.1%. For the cavity field stabilization, a high-stable optical signal distribution system is used as the RF reference, and sophisticated digital feedback and feed-forward system is working well in the low level RF control system. Consequently the providing beam to the RCS is very stable, and the beam commissioning and the experiments of the application facilities have been progressed steadily.

For 400-MeV upgrade of the J-PARC linac. ACS (Annular Coupled Structure) cavities, which are driven by 972-MHz RF, will be installed. The ACS cavity has complicated structure. Its Q-value is very low and the operation frequency is three times high in comparison with that of the SDTL cavity. So the stabilizing control of the ACS accelerating field will be more difficult than present RF system. Further more the chopped beam loading compensation is required. Especially, a debuncher, which has ACS structure, will be located very far from the klystron, consequently the feedback loop delay will be about 1.5 
s. This paper will show the simulation results of the feedback control of the ACS cavity field including long loop delay. As the result, it was found that the required stability could be satisfied by giving high integral gain in FB control.

The function of the chopped beam loading compensation was implemented into the digital feedback/feed-forward control system of the J-PARC Linac LLRF system to stabilize the ACS cavity fields for the 400-MeV upgrade. The beam test of the chopped beam loading compensation was performed with the present 324-MHz cavity system. Consequently the chopped beam loading was successfully compensated and that this system is valid.

To avoid heat damage and radioactivation by beam loss of the J-PARC accelerator, Machine Protection System (MPS) has been developed. Actually, high responsibility and high reliability have been achieved in J-PARC. Beam-stop method in addition to a way of RFQ OFF has been requested in order to avoid damage to the RFQ. Therefore, we have been developing a fast beam-stop system by using a RF chopper. The fast beam-stop system, including beam test, is described in this paper.

The output energy of the J-PARC proton Linac will be upgraded from 181 to 400 MeV in the next two years by adding 972-MHz high-beta acceleration sections. The RF signals are controlled by the FPGA-based digital feedback control systems installed in a compact PCI (cPCI). Recently, the LLRF control software has also been upgraded for the J-PARC Linac, especially for the 972-MHz high-beta systems. Many functions have been added to the LLRF control software, such as (1) gradually increasing the feedback gains in the feedback loop instead of fixed ones, (2) automatic chopped-beam compensation, (3) automatically switching the beam loading compensation in accordance with the different beam operation mode, (4) input RF-frequency tuning carried out by a FPGA to match the RF cavities during the RF start-up, (5) auto-tuning of the RF cavity tuner by detecting the phase curve of the RF cavity during the field decay instead of the phase difference between the cavity input and output signals.

The J-PARC RFQ accelerates a negative hydrogen beam from 50 keV to 3 MeV. Beam commissioning of the J-PARC linac started in November 2006 and the linac has delivered beams to the 3 GeV synchrotron since September 2007. Trip rates of the RFQ, however, unexpectedly increased in September 2008. We tried to recover by tender conditioning, improvement of vacuum properties, etc. User operations for the Material and Life Experimental Facilities were successfully carried out at 20 kW in June 2009, and the beam power was increased to 120 kW in November. The high power operation at 300 kW for one hour was also demonstrated. Status and improvement of the J-PARC RFQ are presented.

The J-PARC RFQ (length 3.1m, 4-vane type, 324 MHz) accelerates a beam from the ion source to the DTL. The beam test of the linac was started in November 2006 and 181 MeV beam was successfully accelerated in January 2007. Since then, the linac has been delivered beams for commissioning of the linac itself, downstream accelerators and facilities. Trip rates of the RFQ, however, suddenly increased in Autumn 2008, and we are suffering from this issue for user run operation. We tried to recover by tender conditioning, modification of RF control, improvement of vacuum and so on. We manage to have beam operation. In this report, we describe the status of the RFQ.
