  In hadron accelerators, the characterization of the beam transverse halo can lead to a better understanding of the beam dynamics and ultimately to a reduction of the beam losses. Unfortunately the effect of losses on beam instrumentation implies a reduction of the instrument sensitivity due to the background noise. In this paper, we will discuss the effect of losses on the wire scanner scintillator foreseen for the ESS linac, in particular the different hypothesis for the input will be described and preliminary results will be presented.

  Before approaching the micro-loss monitor concept, we propose to present the high intensity Linac for which the R&D program was done, LIPAc (Linear IFIMIF Prototype Accelerator). This later is the feasibility accelerator demonstrator for the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF). IFMIF aims at providing a very intense neutron source (1018 neutron/m2/s) to test materials for the future fusion reactors, beyond ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). LIPAc (1.125 MW deuteron beam) is in installation progress at Rokkasho (Japan). Then, we will focus on the feasibility study of the beam optimization inside the SRF Linac part. Commissioning of such high beam intensity has to be done with a different approach based on detection of micro-losses, CVD diamonds, set inside the cryomodule linac.

  The beam collimation system of J-PARC main ring has been prepared in order to localize the beam loss into the specified area, especially during the injection period. At the first time, it was constructed as a scraper-catcher system in horizontal and vertical planes which consisted of one halo-scraper and two scattered protons catchers, whose the maximum beam loss capacity was designed to be 450W in the beam injection straight of the ring. In 2012, the scraper was replaced by two collimators with a movable L-type jaw for both planes. Two catchers remained at the same places, and they were used as collimators. This large change of design concept of main ring collimation system was required in order to increase the beam loss capacity more than 3kW. The system worked well but unexpected loss spots still remained in the following arc and straight sections. The four-axis collimator was developed with movable jaw in horizontal, vertical and skew configurations which has high cleaning efficiency. We have four four-axis collimators, two non-skew collimators, and one original catcher. The most effective arrangement of collimators was investigated in this report.
