  The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is an accelerator-based science facility. CSNS is designed to accelerate proton beam pulses to 1.6 GeV kinetic energy, striking a solid metal target to produce spallation neutrons. CSNS has two major accelerator systems, a linear accelerator (80 MeV Linac) and a 1.6 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). The Beam commissioning of CSNS has been commissioned recently. Beam had been accelerated to 61 MeV at CSNS/Linac on April 24, 2017, and 1.6 GeV acceleration at CSNS/RCS was successfully accomplished on July 7, 2017 with the injection energy of 61 MeV. Beam had been accelerated to 80 MeV at CSNS/Linac on January 6, 2018, and 1.6 GeV acceleration at CSNS/RCS was successfully accomplished on January 18, 2018 with the injection energy of 80 MeV. The initial machine parameter tuning and various beam studies were completed. In this paper, the commissioning experiences are introduced.

  The ESS linac will deliver an unprecedented 5 MW of average beam power when completed. Beyond the 90 MeV normal conducting front-end, the acceleration is performed using SC structures up to the design energy of 2 GeV. As the ESS will send the beam to a fixed tungsten target, the emittance is not as important a factor as in injectors. However, the losses have to be studied in detail, including not only the average operational loss required to be of less than 1 W/m, but also the accidental losses, losses due to failure and other potentially damaging losses. The commissioning of the ion source and LEBT starts this year and will continue with the RFQ next year. In this contribution we will discuss the beam dynamics aspects and challenges of the ESS linac.

  At injection into the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) a significant horizontal emittance blow-up of the present high brightness beams for the LHC is observed. A partial contribution to this effect is suspected to be an important mismatch between the dispersion function in the transfer line from the PS Booster (PSB) and the ring itself. This mismatch will be unacceptable in view of the beam parameters requested by the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project with high longitudinal emittance and momentum spread. To deliver the requested beam parameters the PSB-to-PS transfer line will be upgraded and the optics in the line changed to improve the matching from all the four PSB rings. A re-matching campaign from the PSB ring 3 has been carried out to evaluate the impact of the present optics mismatch as a source of emittance growth both in simulations and measurements.

WEP2PO018 Magnetic Field Tracking at CSNS/RCS controls, MMI, acceleration, dipole 306

  Because of the differences of magnetic saturation and eddy current effects between different magnets, magnetic field tracking errors between different magnets is larger than 2.5 % at the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), and the induced tune shift is larger than 0.1. So larger tune shift may lead the beam to pass through the resonance lines. To reduce the magnetic field tracking errors, a method of wave form compensation for magnets of the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron was investigated on the magnets of CSNS/RCS. The wave form compensation was applied to CSNS/RCS commissioning. By performing wave form compensation, the maximum magnetic field tracking error was reduced from 2.5 % to 0.08 %, and the maximum tune shift over the ramping process was reduced from 0.1 to 0.004.

  A 30 GeV proton beam accelerated in the J-PARC Main Ring (MR) is slowly extracted by the third integer resonant extraction and delivered to the hadron experimental hall. Slow extraction from the MR has unique characteristics that can be used to obtain a low beam loss rate. Devices with electrostatic septum (ESSs) and magnetic septa are placed in the long straight section with zero dispersion. The separatrix for the resonance is independent of the momentum at the septa when the horizontal chromaticity is set to zero. The resulting beam has a large step size and small angular spread, enabling a low hit rate of the beam at the first ESS. Under these conditions, a dynamic bump scheme has been applied to reduce the beam loss further. We have attained 50 kW operation at 5.2s cycle in the latest physics run. A suppression of instability during debunch process is also essential as well as low beam loss tunings. In this paper, a current status and future plans toward a higher beam power for the slow extraction are reported. Preliminary results for a 8 GeV slow extraction test for the muon to electron conversion search experiment (COMET) will be also briefly presented.

THA1WE02 Requirements and Results for Quadrupole Mode Measurements space-charge, emittance, synchrotron, pick-up 393

Direct space charge may be quantified, and hence the beam brightness observed, by measuring the quadrupolar beam modes in the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS). The spectrum of the transverse beam size oscillations (i.e. the quadrupolar beam moment) contains valuable information: the betatron envelope modes and the coherent dispersive mode indicate optics mismatch, while their frequency shifts due to space charge allow a direct measurement thereof. To measure the quadrupolar beam moment we use the Base-Band Q-meter system of the PS which is based on a four electrode stripline pick-up. Past experiments with quadrupolar pick-ups often investigated coasting beams, where the coherent betatron and dispersion modes correspond to single peaks in the tune spectrum. In contrast, long bunched beams feature bands of betatron modes: the mode frequencies shift depending on the transverse space charge strength which varies with the local line charge density. By using the new transverse feedback in the PS as a quadrupolar RF exciter, we measured the quadrupolar beam transfer function. The beam response reveals the distinct band structure of the envelope modes as well as the coherent dispersive mode.
