We have developed simulation tools for the realistic beam loss estimation at the RCS(rapid cycling synchrotron) of J-PARC(Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex). The present simulation concerns an accurate estimation of the beam loss caused by the nuclear scattering at the charge-exchange foil during the multi turn injection period. It can also figure out the loss point in the ring, so would become very useful for the maintenance and optimization as well. The simulation code GEANT together with the SAD(Strategic Accelerator Design) have been used for the present purpose. In this paper, detail simulation method including the result will be discussed.

In order to accelerate a high intense proton beam with small particle losses, the J-PARC RCS, which is being constructed at JAEA, has a large acceptance. In such synchrotrons, the nonlinear motion of the beam particles, especially moving away from the axis of the elements, is a common issue, and it becomes essential to consider intrinsic field nonlinearities. The main sources of nonlinear magnetic fields in the RCS are as follows: fringes of the main dipole and quadrupole magnets, sextupole fields used for the chromatic correction, leak fields from the injection and extraction beam lines, etc. In this paper, we will discuss influences of the intrinsic field nonlinearities and a cure for the induced betatron resonances, based on single-particle and multi-particle tracking simulations.

We developed a virtual accelerator based on EPICS for 3 GeV Rapid-Cycle Synchrotron (RCS) in J-PARC. It is important to have an on-line model of optics parameters, such as tunes, Twiss parameters, dispersion function, at the commissioning stage in a high intensity proton machine. It gives a strong feedback for the RCS operation as a commissioning tool as well as for the studies of beam dynamics issues. Beam position monitors with finite resolutions, a transverse exciter to measure the betatron frequency, and a RF system with variable frequency to simulate off-momentum optics have been implemented into the system. The virtual accelerator system itself and some results of beam dynamics studies will be presented.
