  For the coming upgrade of J-Parc, the peak power of linac will be greatly increased. This may open many interesting questions. For instance, for efficient acceleration from 19 0MeV to 400 MeV the annular coupled structure (ACS) was applied with frequency jump from 324 MHz to 972 MHz. Upstream part of J-PARC linac from the frequency jump is set with the equi-partitioning (EP) condition, which prevents from the coherent resonances. If EP condition is kept for the downstream part, due to the frequency jump, the transverse focusing should also ‘jump' 3 times with shrink of envelop. The increased beam-density affects the interactions between particles, including the intra-beam stripping (IBS) effect in the H beam. The temperature ratio between transverse and longitudinal planes is used as a knob for studying the beam behavior for the cases away from equi-partitioning. The IBS effects, as well as strategies for setting downstream non-equi-partitioning lattice due to frequency jump are studied. The matching and beam evolution in the transition section from EP to non-EP (MEBT2) are also studied. The results help to reach an optimum with least risks from resonances and IBS effects and so on.

  We had a massive earthquake in March 2011, which forced us to shutdown J-PARC accelerators for nearly nine months due to its resultant damages. After significant restoration effort, we resumed the beam operation of J-PARC linac in December 2011 and user operation in January 2012. Subsequently, we restored the same beam power as just before the earthquake in March 2012. In the course of the beam commissioning after the earthquake, we have experienced beam losses which were not observed before the earthquake. We discuss the experimentally observed beam losses and its comparison with particle simulations.
