THPME059	Preparation of the Coupled RFQ-IH-cavity for FRANZ	3367
	M. Heilmann, C. Claessens, O. Meusel, D. Mäder, U. Ratzinger, A. Schempp, M. Schwarz IAP, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
	The Frankfurt neutron source at the Stern-Gerlach-Zentrum (FRANZ) will provide ultra-short neutron pulses at high intensities and repetition rates. The neutrons will be produced using the 7Li(p, n)7Be reaction induced by a proton beam. The 175 MHz IH-type drift tube linac with 8 gaps succeeds a 4-rod-RFQ. Together they form a coupled linac combination with a length of 2.3 m and accelerate the protons from 120 keV to 2.03 MeV. As the RF losses add up to 200 kW, the cooling of both accelerators is a central challenge. The RFQ-IH combination is powered by a radio frequency amplifier, which couples the RF power into the RFQ. The two structures are connected via inductive coupling. The initial beam operation of the accelerators is configured for 50 mA in cw mode. The IH-components were fabricated, RF tuning measurements are underway. The RFQ and the IH-DTL will be conditioned separately and then be connected, aiming for a beam operation at the end of 2014. A main challenge in fabrication was the precise welding required for the water cooled drift tubes and stems.

THPME060	Malfunction, Cause and Recurrence Prevention Measures of J-PARC Slow Extraction	3370
	M. Tomizawa, T. Kimura, H. Nakagawa, K. Okamura KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	The radiation leakage accident occurred at the J-PARC hadron experimental hall in May 2013 was triggered by a target damage due to an unanticipated short beam pulse from J-PARC main ring. An extremely short beam pulse was produced by a rapid current increase of the quadrupole (EQ) power supply system for a spill feedback. A simulation with the slow extraction process could explain such a short beam pulse generation. The cause of the malfunction has been identified by an intensive investigation of the EQ power supply system performed after the accident. We will show measures to prevent recurrence.

	T. Koseki KEK, Ibaraki, Japan K. Hasegawa JAEA/J-PARC, Tokai-mura, Japan
	In J-PARC, a radioactive material leak accident occurred at the Hadron Experimental Facility on May 23, 2013. The accident was triggered by a malfunction of the slow extraction system of the Main Ring synchrotron. After seven-month long shutdown due to the accident, beam operation of the linac was restarted in December 2013. In this paper, the most recent status of the beam operation is presented.

	The high intensity proton accelerator complex (J-PARC) consists of the Linac, the 25Hz rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) and the 50GeV main synchrotron (MR). During the long shutdown of 2013, the Linac energy was upgraded from 181MeV to the design value of 400MeV. In the RCS, we have installed the last 12th RF system. In operation from January 2014, beam commissioning aimed at 1 MW operation will be started. In the MR, the upgrade plan of the beam power, realizing by raising the repetition, has been started. For this reason the accelerating voltage must be increased, and all MR RF systems will be replaced with more efficient systems. A new magnetic alloy material (FT3L) has been developed. Manufacturing of the FT3L accelerating cavities has proceeded. It becomes possible to increase the accelerating voltage from 280 kV to 540 kV, using the new cavities in combination with the existing RF power supplies. We have started the developments of a 2nd harmonic system loaded with air-cooled FT3L cores and a high-Q VHF cavity system, too. Both systems are used for longitudinal dilution increase the bunching factor of the circulating high intensity proton beam.

THPME064	Progress and Status of the J-PARC 3GeV RCS	3382
	M. Kinsho JAEA/J-PARC, Tokai-mura, Japan
	Big issue for the J-PARC 3GeV RCS was displacement of main magnets caused by last big earthquake because this made beam loss more than 400 kW beam power. Since realignment of main magnet and other components was essential to realize higher beam power and stable operation, this work has been done last maintenance period. To minimize amount of realignment work, we decided that not all components moved to designed regular potions but also minimum components moved to the position which was secured design acceptance 486 π mm mrad. Almost all components which are main magnets, rf cavities, and extraction magnets had to be moved in the range of 10 mm for horizontal, 3 mm for vertical and 9 mm for longitudinal, respectively. It was not necessary for the components installed in injection straight line to move because displacement of these components was less than ± 0.2 mm. At same time 400 MeV injection upgrade work should be done. Beam commissioning is planned from the middle of January 2014. The progress and status of the RCS in J-PARC are presented.

	In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project (LIU), a complete replacement of the existing narrow-band rf systems of CERN PSB with wide-band magnetic alloy (MA) loaded rf systems is in progress. A single gap MA loaded rf system prototype, which uses solid-state power amplifier and includes fast rf feedback for beam loading compensation, has been installed in the J-PARC MR to investigate the system behavior with high intensity proton beams. We report the wake voltage measurement results with and without fast rf feedback. In addition to the fast feedback, the rf feedforward method is under consideration to compensate the heavy beam loading more effectively. Preliminary beam test results with feedforward are also presented.

THPME067	Air Stripper for Intense Heavy Ion Beams	3388

	Intensity upgrade of very heavy ions such as uranium or xenon beams is one of the main concerns at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF). The lifetime problem of carbon-foil strippers due to the high energy loss of beams was a principal bottleneck for the intensity upgrade. We have already developed and successfully operated a re-circulating He-gas stripper for 10-MeV/u uranium beams as an alternative to carbon foils. Recently, the 2nd gas stripper with air dedicated for 50-MeV/u ¹²⁴Xe beams was developed. The differential pumping techniques similar to that used in the He gas stripper was applied. We confined a very thick gas target, up to 20~mg/cm² of air, in a 0.5-m target chamber. One good feature of using air is that it can be inexhaustible for our use. The stripper was stably operated in user runs performed in June 2013. The service rate reached 91\%. The maximum beam intensity reached 38~pnA and the average intensity provided to users becomes approximately four times higher than it was in 2012. The down-time free gas strippers greatly contributed to these improvements. We also discuss the applicability of the air stripper to 50-MeV/u ²³⁸U beams.

	The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) beam dump system is a concern for the planned High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) operation. The system has initially been designed for very different beam parameters compared to those which will reign after the completion of the LHC injectors upgrade, when the SPS will have to operate with unprecedented beam brightness. This paper describes the relevant operational and failure modes of the dump system together with the expected beam loading levels. Tracking studies are presented, considering both normal operation and failure scenarios, with particular attention on the location and level of proton losses. First FLUKA investigations and thermo-mechanical analysis of the high-energy absorber block are described

THPME149	Beam Dynamics Issues in the Post Accelerator for the Rare Isotope Ion Beams from ISOL System in RISP	3605

	The accelerator for RISP, which is the superconducting technology based heavy ion linear accelerator construction project, is composed mainly of the driver linac for stable ion beam from an ECR ion source and post linac for unstable ion from an ISOL system. The post accelerator can accelerate the unstable ion beams up to 16.5 MeV/u for 132Sn and 16.0 MeV/u for 58Ni, which has the ratio of mass to charge, A/q, of 8.3. The unstable ion beam such as 132Sn from an ISOL system has the large transverse and longitudinal emittances. Hence acceptance and envelope of the post accelerator should optimize for stable operation. The beam was transported by the post-to-driver transport (P2DT) line which consists of a charge stripper, two charge selection sections and a telescope section with the bunching cavities. In this presentation, we will show the criteria for the design of the post accelerator and result of beam tracking simulation from the low energy transport line to the end of post linac. The initial coordinates of the particles were acquired by the tracking simulation from the low energy beam transport (LEBT) line to the medium energy beam transport (MEBT) line.

The radiation leakage accident occurred at the J-PARC hadron experimental hall in May 2013 was triggered by a target damage due to an unanticipated short beam pulse from J-PARC main ring. An extremely short beam pulse was produced by a rapid current increase of the quadrupole (EQ) power supply system for a spill feedback. A simulation with the slow extraction process could explain such a short beam pulse generation. The cause of the malfunction has been identified by an intensive investigation of the EQ power supply system performed after the accident. We will show measures to prevent recurrence.

In J-PARC, a radioactive material leak accident occurred at the Hadron Experimental Facility on May 23, 2013. The accident was triggered by a malfunction of the slow extraction system of the Main Ring synchrotron. After seven-month long shutdown due to the accident, beam operation of the linac was restarted in December 2013. In this paper, the most recent status of the beam operation is presented.

The high intensity proton accelerator complex (J-PARC) consists of the Linac, the 25Hz rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) and the 50GeV main synchrotron (MR). During the long shutdown of 2013, the Linac energy was upgraded from 181MeV to the design value of 400MeV. In the RCS, we have installed the last 12th RF system. In operation from January 2014, beam commissioning aimed at 1 MW operation will be started. In the MR, the upgrade plan of the beam power, realizing by raising the repetition, has been started. For this reason the accelerating voltage must be increased, and all MR RF systems will be replaced with more efficient systems. A new magnetic alloy material (FT3L) has been developed. Manufacturing of the FT3L accelerating cavities has proceeded. It becomes possible to increase the accelerating voltage from 280 kV to 540 kV, using the new cavities in combination with the existing RF power supplies. We have started the developments of a 2nd harmonic system loaded with air-cooled FT3L cores and a high-Q VHF cavity system, too. Both systems are used for longitudinal dilution increase the bunching factor of the circulating high intensity proton beam.

Progress and Status of the J-PARC 3GeV RCS

3382

JAEA/J-PARC, Tokai-mura, Japan

Big issue for the J-PARC 3GeV RCS was displacement of main magnets caused by last big earthquake because this made beam loss more than 400 kW beam power. Since realignment of main magnet and other components was essential to realize higher beam power and stable operation, this work has been done last maintenance period. To minimize amount of realignment work, we decided that not all components moved to designed regular potions but also minimum components moved to the position which was secured design acceptance 486 π mm mrad. Almost all components which are main magnets, rf cavities, and extraction magnets had to be moved in the range of 10 mm for horizontal, 3 mm for vertical and 9 mm for longitudinal, respectively. It was not necessary for the components installed in injection straight line to move because displacement of these components was less than ± 0.2 mm. At same time 400 MeV injection upgrade work should be done. Beam commissioning is planned from the middle of January 2014. The progress and status of the RCS in J-PARC are presented.

In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project (LIU), a complete replacement of the existing narrow-band rf systems of CERN PSB with wide-band magnetic alloy (MA) loaded rf systems is in progress. A single gap MA loaded rf system prototype, which uses solid-state power amplifier and includes fast rf feedback for beam loading compensation, has been installed in the J-PARC MR to investigate the system behavior with high intensity proton beams. We report the wake voltage measurement results with and without fast rf feedback. In addition to the fast feedback, the rf feedforward method is under consideration to compensate the heavy beam loading more effectively. Preliminary beam test results with feedforward are also presented.

Intensity upgrade of very heavy ions such as uranium or xenon beams is one of the main concerns at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF). The lifetime problem of carbon-foil strippers due to the high energy loss of beams was a principal bottleneck for the intensity upgrade. We have already developed and successfully operated a re-circulating He-gas stripper for 10-MeV/u uranium beams as an alternative to carbon foils. Recently, the 2nd gas stripper with air dedicated for 50-MeV/u ¹²⁴Xe beams was developed. The differential pumping techniques similar to that used in the He gas stripper was applied. We confined a very thick gas target, up to 20~mg/cm² of air, in a 0.5-m target chamber. One good feature of using air is that it can be inexhaustible for our use. The stripper was stably operated in user runs performed in June 2013. The service rate reached 91\%. The maximum beam intensity reached 38~pnA and the average intensity provided to users becomes approximately four times higher than it was in 2012. The down-time free gas strippers greatly contributed to these improvements. We also discuss the applicability of the air stripper to 50-MeV/u ²³⁸U beams.

The prospects for future high-power proton beams for producing neutrinos at CERN within the LAGUNA-LBNO study, include the design of a 2 MW High-Power Pro- ton Synchrotron (HP-PS). In this paper, the optics design of the ring is reviewed, comprising Negative Momentum Compaction (NMC) arc cells and quadrupole triplet long straight sections, flexible enough to achieve the constraints imposed mainly by different beam transfer equipment and processes. A global tunability study is undertaken includ- ing aperture and magnet parameter considerations. Basic correction systems are specified and their impact to beam dynamics including dynamic aperture is finally evaluated.

The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) beam dump system is a concern for the planned High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) operation. The system has initially been designed for very different beam parameters compared to those which will reign after the completion of the LHC injectors upgrade, when the SPS will have to operate with unprecedented beam brightness. This paper describes the relevant operational and failure modes of the dump system together with the expected beam loading levels. Tracking studies are presented, considering both normal operation and failure scenarios, with particular attention on the location and level of proton losses. First FLUKA investigations and thermo-mechanical analysis of the high-energy absorber block are described

CERN has put in place an ambitious improvement programme to make the injector chain of the LHC capable of supplying the high intensity and high brightness beams requested by the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project. The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project comprises a new Linac (Linac4) as well as major upgrades and renovations of the PSB, PS and SPS synchrotrons. The heavy ion injector chain is also included, adding Linac3 and LEIR to the list of accelerators concerned. This paper reports on the work completed during the first long LHC shutdown, and outlines the further upgrade path.

The Front End Test Stand (FETS) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is intended to demonstrate the early stages of acceleration (0-3 MeV) and beam chopping required for high power proton accelerators, including proton drivers for pulsed neutron spallation sources and neutrino factories. A Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), consisting of three solenoids and four drift sections, is used to transport the H⁻ beam from the ion source to the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). We present the current performance of the LEBT with regards to beam alignment, transmission and focusing into the acceptance of the RFQ.

The accelerator for RISP, which is the superconducting technology based heavy ion linear accelerator construction project, is composed mainly of the driver linac for stable ion beam from an ECR ion source and post linac for unstable ion from an ISOL system. The post accelerator can accelerate the unstable ion beams up to 16.5 MeV/u for 132Sn and 16.0 MeV/u for 58Ni, which has the ratio of mass to charge, A/q, of 8.3. The unstable ion beam such as 132Sn from an ISOL system has the large transverse and longitudinal emittances. Hence acceptance and envelope of the post accelerator should optimize for stable operation. The beam was transported by the post-to-driver transport (P2DT) line which consists of a charge stripper, two charge selection sections and a telescope section with the bunching cavities. In this presentation, we will show the criteria for the design of the post accelerator and result of beam tracking simulation from the low energy transport line to the end of post linac. The initial coordinates of the particles were acquired by the tracking simulation from the low energy beam transport (LEBT) line to the medium energy beam transport (MEBT) line.
