| MOPME020 | Development of the New Measurement Method for the Incoherent Tune Spread and the Tune Shift Caused by the Space Charge Effect | 512 |
|
||
| For the high intensity accelerator, the incoherent tune which is the frequency of the individual particles is shifted and decreases due to the space charge effect. In addition, the incoherent tune is formed into spread shape commonly. When the incoherent tune satisfies a resonance condition, it might be occurred the beam emittance growth and the beam loss. So it is necessary to reduce the incoherent tune spread and the tune shift as much as possible. To achieve this condition, it is desired to measure the incoherent tune spread and the tune shift directly. Therefore we are developing the new measurement method of the incoherent tune spread and the shift due to the space charge effect. From the simulation results, it was cleared that the beam distribution can be modified in the case of using the mono frequency dipole exciter because a particle which has the tune corresponding to the exciter can be resonated temporary. In addition, it was cleared that it is possible to evaluate the incoherent tune spread and the tune shift by the measurement of the distribution transition. We present the outline of this method and the developing plane at the J-PARC RCS. | ||
| MOPME022 | Beam Commissioning of Two Horizontal Pulse Steering Magnets for Changing Injection Painting Area from MLF to MR in the 3-GeV RCS of J-PARC | 518 |
|
||
| We have been successfully commissioned two pulse steering magnets installed in the Linac to 3-GeV RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) injection beam transport (BT) line of J-PARC. RCS has to deliver a simultaneous as well as specific beam as demand by the downstream facilities of MLF (Material and Life Science Facility) and the MR (Main Ring). In order to obtain relatively a smaller transverse emittance at extraction, those magnets were designed to perform a smaller injection painting for the MR beam as compared to the MLF one. As stripper foil position is fixed for the charge exchange H− injection, inclination of the injected beam centroid on foil for the MR beam is only moved to a smaller value by the pulse steering magnets, while DC septum magnets are fixed as determined first for the MLF beam. Their parameters were found to be very consistent with expectation and thus already in operation for switching to a painting area of 100 pi mm mrad for the MR beam as compared to that of 150 pi mm mrad for the MLF beam. | ||
| MOPME023 | ORBIT Beam Simulation Progress in the 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron of J-PARC | 521 |
|
||
| We have made a numerous progress for beam simulation in the 3-GeV RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) of J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) by using 3-D particle tracking code, ORBIT. Namely, the TEAPOT lattice file used for ORBIT tracking has been made to give exactly same results to that with SAD model used for the RCS beam commissioning. In addition, time dependent lattice functions of the injection chicane magnets and similar other time dependent lattice imperfections, which are already found to have significant influences on the beam losses in the real machine have also been successfully introduced. At present, time dependent transverse and longitudinal impedances are going to be introduced. That should prove the ORBIT code much more matured for beam simulations in synchrotrons. Latest beam simulation results illustrating these new realistic features are presented. | ||
| WEPME020 | Alignment Plan and Survey Results of the Equipment for J-PARC 3 GeV RCS | 2971 |
|
||
| Misalignment of several millimeters of the magnets of J-PARC 3GeV RCS in both horizontal and vertical directions was caused by the Tohoku Region Pacific Coast Earthquake on March 11, 2011. As the result of orbit calculation showed that the beam loss was acceptable for beam operation at 300kW, beam operation with the current placement has been implemented. Realignment of the equipment will be carried out from August to December in 2013. Survey carried out in the summer of 2013 found out misalignment of ceramic vacuum ducts therefore their positioning is necessary. In this paper, these measurement result and latest alignment plan for J-PARC 3GeV RCS are reported. | ||
| THPFI016 | DESIGN CONSIDERATION OF BEAM DUCTS FOR QUADRUPOLE CORRECTORS IN J-PARC RCS | 3327 |

which rapidly correct the tunes, are planned to be installed during the summer shutdown in 2013. The characteristic of the excitation pattern of such quadrupoles (quadrupole corrector) is their fast change of magnetic field, which are more than 200T/s at the fastest point. In this report, we describe a deliberation flow about the design of a vacuum chamber, which is installed in the quadrupole corrector. The effect of eddy current was calculated in the case of the current titanium vacuum chamber. The results showed that the temperature rise was too much (up to ~350oC) and the magnetic field in the vacuum chamber is largely distorted by the eddy current. Therefore we decided to employ an alumina ceramics vacuum chamber, for which we have a past achievement in RCS*. We estimated the displacement and stress, which is caused by the atmospheric pressure, for the alumina ceramics vacuum chamber and vacuum component around it by making the calculation model for the finite element method. It was found that there was no large displacement and stress by installing the alumina ceramics vacuum chamber.
