At the J-PARC Main Ring (MR), there have been various investigation carried out at the moment aiming at the beam operation of MW order. As one of the investigations, a study of the Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) magnets was implemented. Increase of the extraction energy of RCS was needed to reduce beam loss, as beam loss in the MR injection region was large under influence of Space Charge effect at the injection beam of 3GeV. Therefore conceptual design of the extraction energy upgrade using dipole and quadrupole magnets of RCS was performed. In this paper, we will report the contents of the study in extraction energy upgrade of RCS magnets and problems which became clear as a result.

The 240-kW output beam power in the J-PARC 50-GeV Main Ring (MR) has been achieved for the 30-GeV user operation with the cycle time of 2.48 sec and the injected beam intensity with the output beam power of 380-kW equivalent from 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS). The target of output beam power in MR is 750-kW by faster cycling and the injected beam intensity of 600-kW equivalent beam from the RCS. The MR are developing the new type power supplies of the MR main magnets and the high-impedance core of the MR RF cavities. The RCS will aim the designed output beam power of 1-MW from the beam commissioning on October 2014 after the peak current upgrade of Linac from 30 to 50-mA. For higher beam power of MR, we have explored the accelerator options. As one of options, 8-GeV Booster Ring (BR) is also designed for increasing the injection energy of the MR. The increasement of injection energy leads to the reducing a space charge force and the increasing the acceptance clearance from the physical aperture of the MR. In this paper, the realistic injection and extraction system of the BR and the new injection system of the MR for Multi-MW output beam power are also described.

Now the J-PARC accelerators (Linac, 3GeV RCS, 50GeV MR) are in transition from the initial beam commissioning phase to the final stage aiming for the design output beam power of 1 MW from RCS and 0.75 MW from MR; RCS is to start 1-MW beam tuning from October 2014 after completing the linac upgrade, and MR aims at 0.75 MW within the next 3 years by introducing new main magnet power supplies with the faster cycling time. In view of such current situation, we have started discussions for the future J-PARC accelerator concept toward a Multi-MW output beam power. In this paper, we discuss the feasibility for the introduction of a new 8-GeV booster synchrotron between RCS and MR as one possible option toward a Multi-MW output beam power from MR, in combination with the RCS beam power upgrade from 1 MW to 2 MW.

The J-PARC 3-50BT line is the beam transport line from 3-GeV rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS) to 50-GeV main ring (MR). The RCS is the high-intensity proton accelerator, where designed beam power is 1 MW, and has the complex source of space charge effect, etc. Therefore, the uncontrolled emittance growth and beam halo increase nonlinearly with the increasing the beam power. Additionally, the physical aperture of MR with 81 
mm mrad is smaller than that of RCS with 486 mm mrad. Therefore, the 3-50BT line has the collimators in order to remove the tail or halo of the extracted beam from the RCS. The designed collimator aperture is 54 mm mrad. It is required to measure and optimize the optics parameters in the collimator area for taking full advantage of the beam collimation. Especially, it is very important to make the dispersion functions free in the collimator area and optimize the beta function. This paper will introduce the method of optics measurement and report the result of the measurement and optimization based on the simulation.

J-PARC had developed the beam diagnostic devices for the present J-PARC linac and has used them since the operation start. J-PARC linac began the energy upgrade project since 2009 and 21 ACS cavities will be installed. Because the beam parameters are updated due to the project, new beam diagnostic devices are additionally fabricated and the diagnostic devices at the downstream part where the beam energy will be increased up to 400 MeV by ACS cavities should be developed. In this paper, we introduce the development of the beam diagnostic devices for the project and the new developing devices.

Ar-CO
gas proportional counters are employed for the measurement of beam loss in the current linac operation, but they are also sensitive to background noise of X-ray emitted from RF cavities. In SDTL section, protons, secondary hadrons and 
rays would be mainly generated as a beam loss, but it is not easy to estimate real beam loss using the proportional counter. The plastic scintillation counters with less X-ray sensitivity and 
He proportional counters with high thermal neutron sensitivity will be also employed to measure the beam loss. This paper reports the signals obtained during the beam operation using the Ar-CO gas proportional counter and the plastic scintillation counter. Finally, a measurement of emission position and angle distributions of protons due to negative hydrogen ion (H
) beam loss is being planed. This plan is introduced and this result would lead to clarify the source of beam loss.

Times Cited Count：17 Percentile：58.6(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We revisit the one-dimensional attractive Hubbard model by using the Bethe-ansatz-based density-functional theory and density-matrix renormalization method. The ground-state properties of this model are discussed in details for different fillings and different confining conditions in weak-to-intermediate coupling regime. We investigate the ground-state energy, energy gap, and pair-binding energy and compare them with those calculated from the canonical Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approximation. We find that the Bethe-ansatz-based density-functional theory is computationally easy and yields an accurate description of the ground-state properties for weak-to-intermediate interaction strength, different fillings, and confinements.

The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method is a numerical calculation technique to obtain the ground state of quantum lattice systems whose degree of freedoms exponentially grows with the size of the lattice sites and particles (or spins in interacting spin systems). Its advantage is excellent accuracy comparable to the exact diagonalization scheme even in considerably large number of sites and particles (spins). However, the technique has been originally developed for one-dimensional systems. Therefore, the extension to higher dimensional lattices systems is in great demand since major rich physics such as superconductivity and ferromagnetism frequently occurs in two or three dimensions. This paper describes a parallelization strategy of the technique to calculate quasi-two dimensional (ladder) systems toward the next generation supercomputer and reports its good parallel efficiency on T2K supercomputer HA8000 at University of Tokyo. Moreover, typical quantum phenomena obtained by using the parallelized code are exhibited and some remarks on parallelization scheme in the next generation supercomputer are mentioned.

In the J-PARC 3 GeV synchrotron, the horizontal closed-orbit-distortion (COD) variation was observed at first of beam commissioning. The COD correction was very difficult to archive because the beam orbit of each shot changes periodically at a period of about 140 seconds. This paper clarifies that the horizontal COD is caused by the switching noise of the dipole magnet power supply and the periodic variation of the beam orbit is caused by the phase sweep of 1 kHz component that include switching noise. Moreover, it has been demonstrate that the dipole magnet power supply using the improved Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) circuit with a synchronized timing system of the accelerator has successfully suppressed the beam orbit variation.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：43.45(Physics, Nuclear)In rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS), a ceramic chamber with Cu-stripes is usually used as a vacuum chamber. These Cu-stripes are terminated on either end by capacitors, which show the low impedance for the circulating beam, and the high impedance for the induced current with the frequency components of the outside time-dependent magnetic field (for example, the injection bump magnet, bending magnets 
). It is important to precisely estimate the field modulations inside the chamber when this field is excited, because such field modulations may deteriorate the beam characteristics. In this paper we have developed the theory to evaluate the field modulations quickly and precisely.
