The proton linac installed in the Ibaraki Neutron Medical Research Center is used for production of the intense neutron flux for the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). The linac consists of the 3-MeV RFQ and the 8-MeV DTL. Design average beam current is 10mA. Target is made of Beryllium. First neutron production from the Beryllium target was observed at the end of 2015 with the low intensity beam as a demonstration. After the observation of neutron production, a lot of improvement s was carried out in order to increase the proton beam intensity for the real beam commissioning. The beam commissioning has been started on May 2016. The status of the commissioning is summarized in this report.

In J-PARC linac, six units of high voltage power supplies for 324 MHz klystrons have operated since 2006, and those running time exceed 35,000 hours. In addition, six units of power supplies for the 972 MHz klystrons have been operation since 2013. In the power supply, various troubles occur under the operation. In some anode modulators, arc discharge in the transformer oil had occurred due to the deterioration of the auxiliary solid insulator. In three modules combining a step-up transformer and a rectifier, the high voltage diode was breakdown because an unexpected overvoltage was applied. And by improving the voltage dividing resistor of the module, high stability cathode voltage was achieved. In this report, we describe the trouble and the improvement that occurred in the equipment.

This report describes the present status of the klystron power supply systems for the J-PARC linac. The systems for the 181 MeV linac were operated from September to May. A few breakdowns were occurred, and are described in this report. The new systems for the upgrade of the linac from 181MeV to 400 MeV have been installed until now, and the 3 HVDCPSs and the 3 anode modulators of the new systems have been operated. All the systems for 400 MeV linac will be operated in this autumn.

We will report about status of linac 400 MeV upgrade program and northeast Japan earthquake restoration. On March 11, the linac suffered serious damage as consequence of the earthquake, and was shuttled down for long term. Linac RF group restores the facilities and is accomplishing 400 MeV upgrade at the same time.

This paper describes the present status, technical specifications, operating experience, and upgrade plane for the power supply system (PS system) for the klystrons in the J-PARC. The PS systems include both the high voltage DC power supplies (DCPSs), which drives one or four modulating-anode klystron each, and the anode-modulators, one per klystron. Currently, the energy output of the J-PARC linac is 181 MeV, which includes the energy necessary to run twenty 324 MHz klystrons. In 2012, the linac will add twenty-five 972 MHz klystrons and upgrade the energy output to 400 MeV.

The output energy of the J-PARC proton linac will be upgraded from 181 to 400 MeV in the next two years by adding high-b acceleration sections. The upgrade of the FPGA-based digital LLRF controller for the 400 MeV linac will be presented in this paper. This new LLRF controller works for both the 324-MHz low-b and 972-MHz high-b sections. Many functions have been added into the LLRF controller, such as (1) working for different RF systems, (2) gradually increasing the feedback gains in the feedback loop instead of fixed ones, (3) automatic chopped beam compensation, (4) automatically switching the beam loading compensation in accordance with different beam operation mode, (5) input RF-frequency tuning to match the RF cavities during RF start-up, and (6) 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 beam commissioning of the J-PARC linac started in November 2006 and 181 MeV acceleration was successfully achieved in January 2007. The linac has delivered beams to the 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron for its commissioning, and then, the subsequent Main Ring Synchrotron and the neutron target commissioning. The linac uses a Cs-free LaB
-driven ion source and 20 units of 324 MHz klystrons. As of June 2008, the operation times are about 3,000 and 6,000 hours for the ion source and the RF source, respectively. The operating experience of the linac is described.

High power operation of all the RF systems of J-PARC linac was started for the cavity conditioning in October 2006. Twenty 324-MHz klystrons have supplied the power to the accelerating cavities successfully, and the beam commissioning was started in November 2006. The RF drive and control systems are working well, and required stability is satisfied.

High power RF sources have been installed in J-PARC linac building. The RF source is defined as the microwave application equipment by the Radio low, and is needed the charge minister's permission to offer the service. To pass the regulation, we sought the leakage point using a search coil and a bilog antenna, and stopped up the leak by contacting the metal connection completely. The result of measuring the microwave at the J-PARC site boundary, we confirmed the field strength which is less than permissible level.
