  We have been developing a longitudinal particle tracking code to design and investigate the beam behavior of the J-PARC proton synchrotrons. The code calculate the longitudinal particle motion with a wake voltage and a space charge effect. The most different point from the other codes is that a synchronous particle motion is calculated from the bending magnetic field pattern. This means the synchronous particle is independent from an acceleration frequency pattern. This feature is useful to check the adiabaticity of the synchrotron. The code also calculates the longitudinal emittance and the filling factor at an rf bucket under the multi-harmonics. We will describe the feature of the code.

  ISIS is the pulsed spallation neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. Operation centres on a rapid cycling proton synchrotron which accelerates 3·1013 protons per pulse (ppp) from 70 MeV to 800 MeV at 50 Hz, delivering a mean beam power of 0.2 MW. As a high intensity, loss-limited machine, research and development at ISIS is focused on understanding loss mechanisms with a view to improving operational performance and guiding possible upgrade routes. The head-tail instability observed on ISIS is of particular interest as it is currently a main limitation on beam intensity. Good models of impedance are essential for understanding instabilities and to this end, recent beam-based measurements of the effective transverse impedance of the ISIS synchrotron are presented. This paper also presents developments of a new, in-house code to simulate the head-tail instability observed and includes benchmarks against theory and comparisons with experimental results.

  The ISIS spallation neutron and muon source has been in operation since 1984. The accelerator complex consists of an H ion source, 665 keV RFQ, 70 MeV linac, 800 MeV proton synchrotron and associated beam transfer lines. The facility currently delivers ~2.8·1013 protons per pulse (ppp) at 50 Hz, which is shared between two target stations. High intensity performance and operation are dominated by the need to minimise and control beam loss, which is key to sustainable machine operation, allowing essential hands on maintenance. The facility has had several upgrades including an RFQ, ring Second Harmonic RF system, key developments of diagnostics and instrumentation required for improving beam control and a Second Target station. Upgrades being installed, or expected in the near future, include: a ring damping system, a new injector MEBT with fast injection chopper and an upgraded 50 Hz target. Operational experience of ISIS and the impacts of its past and future upgrades are discussed. Ideas for major upgrades to ISIS are briefly reviewed, as are the underlying R&D projects.

  The robust conjugate direction search (RCDS) method, which is developed by X. Huang from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, has high tolerance against noise in beam experiments and thus can find an optimal solution effectively and efficiently. In this paper, the RCDS method is used to optimize the beam collimation system for Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). A two-stage beam collimation system was designed to localize the beam loss in the collimation section in CSNS/RCS. The parameters of secondary collimators are optimized with RCDS algorithm based on detailed tracking with the ORBIT program for a better performance of the collimation system. The study presents a way to quickly find an optimal parameter combination of the secondary collimators for a machine model for preparation for CSNS/RCS commissioning.

  The J-PARC 3-GeV RCS started 1-MW beam test from October 2014, and successfully achieved a 1-MW beam acceleration in January 2015. The most important issues in realizing such a high power routine beam operation are control and minimization of beam loss. This talk will present the recent progress of 1-MW beam tuning, especially focusing on our approaches to beam loss issues.

  A multi-stage programm for the developmnet of a heavy ion superconducting (SC) continuous wave (CW) linac is in progress at HIM (Mainz, Germany), GSI (Darmstadt, Germany) and IAP (Frankfurt, Germany). The main beam acceleration is provided by up to nine multi-gap CH cavities. Due to variable beam energy, which coud be provided by each cavity separate, a longitudinal beam matching to each cavity is extremely important. The linac should provide the beam for physics experiments, smothly varying the output particle energy from 3.5 to 7.3 MeV/u, simultaneously keeping high beam quality. A dedicated algorythm for such a complicate matching, providing for the optimum machine settings (voltage and rf phase for each cavity), has been developed. The description of method and the obtained reasuts are discussed in this paper.
