  At J-PARC (the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), high intensity proton accelerator, controlling and localizing beam losses and residual radiations are key issue, because the residual radiation limits maintenance work in efficiency and working hours, and then limits machine availability. We are accumulating continuous measurement data of residual radiation after beam stop using beam loss monitors in the Main Ring (MR). The wire cylinder gaseous radiation detectors are used in a proportional counting region. The heads are DC-connected and have a gain as large as 30000 with a bias of -2 kV. We switch the DAQ trigger from "Beam Trigger" to "No Beam Trigger", change the ADC sampling rate to 16 ms, and raise the gain by changing the bias voltage from -1.6 kV to -2.0 kV with a few exceptions when the accelerator operation ends. The offsets are measured with zero bias voltage. Identification of radionuclides has been performed with time decay analysis, with assistance of energy spectrum measurements with the Gamma Ray Spectrometer, Kromek GR1-Spectro.

  Electron cloud instability is presented in most of the high intensity proton rings. During the Slow beam extraction (SX) mode at Main Ring of J-PARC, signals related with its formation were observed. An electron cloud detector is installed downstream of the ElectroStatic Septum (ESS), to measure the electron signal. Additionally, scintillation detector with photomultiplier, a proportional counter and photo-diode were set closely to the electron cloud detector to observe the beam lost. This paper presents the measurements of the electron cloud and some of the conditions which support its creation, for instance the signal of lost particle from the beam loss monitors, the residual gas in the vacuum duct by using vacuum pressure gauges, etc.

  The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is integrated by a set of high intensity proton accelerators. At this operation level, the monitoring and control of the beam losses and residual radiation are priority for its safe performance and maintenance. At Main Ring (MR), a discrepancy appears between the beam loss signal detected by the monitors and the residual dose measured. To understand this difference and the mechanism that produces these losses, a beam simulation study is implemented using the Strategic Accelerator Design (SAD) and Geometry and Tracking (Geant4) code. The first stage of the survey uses SAD to obtain the location of the losses around the lattice per turn. Then, Geant4 produces the secondary showers in the elements. Finally, we make the extrapolation with the residual radiation and compare with the measurements. The description and results of this work are presented in this paper.
