THXG02 J-PARC Progress and Challenges of Proton Synchrotrons 2897
 
  • M. Kinsho
    JAEA/J-PARC, Tokai-Mura, Naka-Gun, Ibaraki-Ken
 
  After briefly outlining the status of the J-PARC linac, the talk should concentrate on describing the outcome of the 3 GeV J-PARC synchrotron commissioning programme, and also include discussion of the challenges of successfully running high power proton synchrotrons.

THXG03 Upgrades to ISIS for the New Second Target Station 2902
 
  • J. W.G. Thomason
    STFC/RAL/ISIS, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon
 
  The new ISIS Second Target Station (TS-2) represents a major enhancement of the capabilities of the successful ISIS spallation neutron source, and correspondingly major enhancements have had to be made to the accelerator systems. As well as providing an outline of the new target station itself, the talk will describe the new dual harmonic RF system for the ISIS synchrotron which significantly increases the accelerated beam current to meet the needs of TS-2, and also the new proton beam transport line which diverts one out of every five pulses from the synchrotron to TS-2. In addition, the talk will summarise the substantial upgrades that have had to be made elsewhere on the ISIS accelerator system to underpin operation for at least another fifteen years, and will address possible future upgrades.
