  ISIS, the pulsed neutron and muon spallation source located at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK), currently delivers a mean beam power of 0.2 MW to target. A 70 MeV H– linear accelerator feeds into a 50 Hz, 800 MeV proton synchrotron, accelerating up to 3·1013 protons per pulse. Potential injection scheme upgrades, aiming to raise average beam power towards 0.5 MW with a new 180 MeV linear accelerator, continue to be studied. This paper highlights recent results from temperature studies of double layer carbon foils, suitable for injection at 180 MeV into ISIS, using ANSYS. Experimental data from KEK was used to benchmark models and the variation of temperature as a function of foil separation was considered.

  The J-PARC RCS (3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron) has two functions as a proton driver to the MLF (Materials and life science facility) and an injector to the MR (50-GeV main ring synchrotron). One of important issues in the current RCS bam tuning is to suppress the beam halo formation, which is essential especially to reduce the beam loss at the MR. In this paper, we present beam study results on the formation mechanism and reduction of the beam halo in the RCS.
