  The beam power of J-PARC Main Ring Synchrotron (MR) increased gradually from 2008, and came to be able regularly to supply the beam of 145kW February, 2011. Many of current beam losses are localized to the collimator located on the injection section. One of the problems of the beam injection is that the orbit of the beam transportation line is unstable. It causes sometimes large transverse injection error. Because the transverse injection error is essentially proportional to the amplitude of the betatron oscillation, it is possible to observe by measuring the turn-by-turn position for every bunch of injected beam by using BPMs located on the injection section. In this report, it is described the method how to measure injection error from beam position. It is also discussed about the effect of reflection wave of injection kicker magnets.

  We have carried out experimental measurement of the stripping efficiency for the newly developed HBC (Hybrid type Boron doped Carbon) stripper foils. The HBC foil is used for charge-exchange injection in the RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) of J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) and plays an important role for the RCS operation. We have developed a rather simple but very precise method using which stripping efficiencies for several HBC foils were determined accurately. Importance of knowing an accurate stripping efficiency so as to determine a realistic stripper foil for the RCS operation will be discussed.
