  The J-PARC MR receives a high intensity beam from the RCS. The designed longitudinal emittance of the RCS is 5 eVs, whereas the MR rf bucket has enough margin to accept up to 10 eVs. Although the RCS emittance can be increased by using PM method and a large emittance is desirable to increase the bunching factor and to avoid instability, it is difficult to receive such large emittance beam in the MR because of the MR kicker performance. We have performed the particle tracking simulation of longitudinal emittance control for enlarging the beam emittance by PM method and for keeping the bunching factor high using 2nd harmonic rf during the MR injection period.

  At the J-PARC Main Ring (MR), transverse instabilities have been observed during the injection and at the onset of acceleration with large particle losses. The present bunch by bunch feedback system, operating in a narrowband mode, has been effectively suppressing these instabilities, allowing the beam power to reach 230kW with only 400W of particle losses. The observed beam signals show that bunches are still executing complicated intra-bunch oscillations even if the narrowband feedback system is on, though they are not imposing significant particle losses at present. The new and more advanced broadband feedback system has been developed for control of the intra-bunch oscillations and further reduction of particle losses. The elaborate analysis code has been also developed on the MATLAB platform to analyse effects of the broadband feedback system on intra-bunch oscillations. This paper describes the development of these advanced instruments and presents the analysis of the latest beam test results using the MATLAB code.

  Japan proton accelerator complex operates two cascaded synchrotrons, 3GeV RCS and 50GeV MR. The high electric field gradient magnetic alloy (MA) loaded cavities are used in both synchrotrons. The RF systems have no tuning control loop and the direct digital synthesis based fully digital low level RF guarantees the stable and reproducible proton acceleration. The feed-forward systems using the circulating beam current signals works efficiently to compensate the heavy beam induced voltage. In RCS, 11 RF systems are operating in a dual harmonic mode since December 2008. The longitudinal RF control based on the particle tracking performed effectively and the equivalent beam power of 530 kW was successfully demonstrated. The 260kW operation for the neutron users started in October 2012. In MR synchrotron, the 9th RF system was newly installed and became available as a 2nd harmonic RF system in November 2012. A 30 GeV proton of 200 kW beam power has been delivered to the T2K neutrino beam experiment with 2.48 sec repetition cycle. This paper summarizes the operation details and the status and features of the J-PARC RF systems.

  In the annual shutdown period of 2012, three bunch shape monitors (BSMs) have been installed to the J-PARC linac beam transport line at the downstream of the 181-MeV separated DTL. To measure the longitudinal micro-bunch shape, the BSM detects the electrons produced by the accelerated protons hitting the negatively energized wire. Due to the space limitation, the each BSM is installed at the center of the quadrupole doublet, where the fringe field from the quadrupole magnets exists. It has been observed that the fringe field significantly affects the orbit of the emitted electrons. To shield the magnetic field, iron plates have been inserted to the spaces between the quadrupole magnets and BSM. This causes changes of the total magnetic flux density (GL) and the amount of quadrupole component of the fringe field. In this paper, numerical estimation of the shield effect is presented.

  The linac of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is the injector to the 3-GeV rapid cycle synchrotron. In order to increase the beam power of the synchrotron, the task of the 400-MeV energy upgrade of the linac started from March 2009. Following the 191-MeV Separated-type DTL, the 25 modules of the Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) linac will be added from August 2013. The operating frequency and the accelerating field E0 of the ACS are 972 MHz and 4.2 MV/m, respectively. The cavity fabrication of the ACS has been almost finished, and then the completed cavities are stored in the J-PARC site. Currently, pumps and vacuum components are being installed on the cavities for the test of vacuum condition. For the pulsed beam of J-PARC, the vacuum pressure have to be less than 10-6 Pa in order not to exceed 0.1 W/m beam loss. In this paper, we present the R&D results to reduce the vacuum pressure using the stored ACS cavity and the current status of the energy upgrade.
