A concept of the induction synchrotron, which was proposed by Takayama and Kishiro in 2000, has been demonstrated by using the KEK PS since 2004. A proton bunch trapped in the RF bucket was accelerated with the induction acceleration devices from 500 MeV to 8 GeV*, which was energized with the newly developed switching power supply. This form of the KEK PS is something like a hybrid synchrotron. In addition, the injected proton bunch was confined by the step barrier-voltages at the injection energy of 500MeV**, which were generated with the same induction acceleration device. Then a concept of the induction synchrotron that a proton bunch was captured by the barrier bucket and accelerated with the induction voltage is to be fully demonstrated.
