We have upgraded a 3-MeV linac at J-PARC. The ion source is same as the J-PARC linac's, and the old 30-mA RFQ is replaced by a spare 50-mA RFQ, therefore, the beam energy is 3 MeV and the nominal beam current is 50 mA. The main purpose of this system is to test the spare RFQ, but also used for testing of various components required in order to keep the stable operation of the J-PARC accelerator. The accelerator has been already commissioned, and measurement programs have been started. In this paper, present status of this 3-MeV linac is presented.

In the J-PARC linac, a proton accelerator is operated using 45 units of 324 MHz and 972 MHz klystrons. In the future stabilization and advancement of the accelerator, it is important to acquire the klystron output characteristics near the maximum output accurately. In order to understand this characteristics, measurement of the characteristics of the replaced klystron for some reason such as discharge, as well as the new klystron. However, such measurements have not been performed because of the risk of damage including peripheral equipment due to discharge and the temporal interference with the operation of the accelerator. Therefore, we set up a klystron test stand in the linac building and measured the high-voltage characteristics and input/output characteristics of the klystron under various operating parameters. By using this measurement result, the characteristics of klystron can be obtained before installation, and it becomes possible to determine the optimum operation parameters and make effective plan of klystron replacements. In addition, basic data for predicting the degradation tendency of klystron was acquired by comparing the characteristics of the used and used klystron.

Futatsukawa, Kenta*; Fang, Z.*; Fukui, Yuji*; Shinozaki, Shinichi; Mizobata, Satoshi; Sato, Yoshikatsu*

Proceedings of 14th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.486 - 489, 2017/12

In the J-PARC linac, the LLRF systems consist of twenty-four 324-MHz systems and twenty-five 972-MHz systems for ACS cavities. The 324-MHz LLRF systems, which were installed in the stations of RFQ, DTLs, and SDTLs, have been used since the beginning of the J-PARC and are more than ten years into the development. Realistically speaking, the incensement of the failure frequency for these systems is expected. Additionally, it is difficult to maintain those for some discontinued boards of a digital feedback (DFB) and a digital feedforward (DFF) at cPCI, and the older OS and developing environment of software. Therefore, we are starting to study the new LLRF system of the next generation. In the present, we are exploring several possibilities of a new way and investigating each advantage and disadvantage. The project and the status of the development for the new system in the J-PARC linac LLRF are introduced.

Proceedings of 28th International Linear Accelerator Conference (LINAC 2016) (Internet), p.298 - 300, 2017/05

We have constructed a linac for development of various accelerator components at J-PARC. The ion source is same as the J-PARC linac's, and the RFQ is a used one in the J-PARC linac. The beam energy is 3 MeV and nominal beam current is 30 mA. The accelerator has been already commissioned, and the first development program, laser-charge-exchange experiment for the transmutation experimental facility, has been started. In this paper, present status of this 3-MeV linac is presented.

Study of beam loading compensation with comb-like structure at J-PARC linac

Futatsukawa, Kenta*; Kobayashi, Tetsuya*; Sato, Yoshikatsu; Shinozaki, Shinichi; Fang, Z.*; Fukui, Yuji*; Mizobata, Satoshi; Michizono, Shinichiro*

Proceedings of 13th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.327 - 331, 2016/11

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.

Hori, Toshihiko*; Shinozaki, Shinichi; Sato, Yoshikatsu; Mizobata, Satoshi; Fukui, Yuji*; Futatsukawa, Kenta*

Proceedings of 13th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.429 - 432, 2016/11

The triode klystrons with a modulating anode have been used for the J-PARC linac. Recently, we exchanged four klystrons due to the frequent discharge at a modulating anode in the klystron tube. In order to understand the discharge mechanism and to estimate the time to replace the klystron, we need to monitor the long term performance of the klystron such as the degradation of a cathode emission current and the RF gain of the klystron tube and so on. Therefore, we started to develop the klystron perveance and gain monitor module (NIM Standard one). In this paper, we will present the design concept of the monitor module, and the first performance test result using the module prototype.

We have used a beam scraper with the incident angle of 65deg to reduce the beam power deposition density in the MEBT between a 324 MHz RFQ and a 50-MeV DTL of the J-PARC linac. The 65$$^{circ}$$ scraper was irradiated by the H$$^{-}$$ beam up to particle number of 1.47E22. We observed a lot of surface projections with several hundred micrometers high in the beam irradiation damage on the scraper by using the laser microscope. In order to study the limits of scrapers, we constructed a new 3 MeV linac at J-PARC. We will conduct the scraper irradiation test at the end of this year.

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.

Development of phase rotation system for RF-chopper at J-PARC Linac

Proceedings of 12th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.1317 - 1320, 2015/09

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.

Two RF-deflecting cavities as a chopper and a beam scraper have been used in the MEBT1 between a 324 MHz RFQ and a 50-MeV DTL of the J-PARC Linac. We replaced with a newly fabricated RF chopper to decrease beam loss for the operation with 50 mA. We installed two new scrapers to absorb the higher power of the deflected beam by the RF chopper. This paper describes the RF chopper system and beam irradiation test results of the scraper.

We performed a beam test of a new radio frequency quadrupole linac (RFQ III) for the beam current upgrade of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. First, the conditioning of RFQ III was conducted, and after 20 h of conditioning, RFQ III became very stable with a nominal peak power and duty factor of 400 kW and 1.5%, respectively. An off-line beam test was subsequently conducted before installation in the accelerator tunnel. The transmission, transverse emittance, and energy spread of the 50-mA negative hydrogen beam from RFQ III were measured and compared with simulation results. The experiment and simulation results showed good agreement; therefore, we conclude that the performance of RFQ III conforms to its design.

Two RF-deflecting cavities as a chopper and a beam scraper have been used in the MEBT between a 324 MHz RFQ and a 50-MeV DTL of the J-PARC Linac. We plan to increase a peak beam current up to 50 mA by replacing an ion source and a RFQ after the summer shutdown in 2014. Beam loss occurs in the RF chopper for the 50 mA operation. Moreover, the beam scraper cannot fully stand the beam load with 50 mA, 0.5 ms, 3 MeV, and 25 Hz. We have studied the new RF chopper cavity by using HFSS code and the tandem scraper system with two scrapers.
