	Laser ion source with DPIS (Direct Plasma Injection Scheme) is a promising candidate for a pre-injector of the high-intensity accelerator. Eliminating LEBT (Low Energy Beam Transport) where the space charge effect is severe, DPIS provides high current ion beam from laser plasma at the entrance of a RFQ linac and ion beams are injected directly into the RFQ linac. However, the injected beam consists of multi charge state ions and their behavior in RFQ linac has not been well understood. In this research, we study the beam dynamics of multi charge state ions in a RFQ. Using the result of computer simulation, a set of 100MHz 4-rod RFQ vanes, which accelerates Al 12+ ion among various charge states of aluminum ions from 8.9 keV/u to 200 keV/u, is newly designed and fabricated to be tested with beams. The result of beam acceleration test using the vane will be reported.

	Low energy neutrons can be accelerated or decelerated by the technique of AFP-NMR with RF and gradient magnetic fields. The neutrons have magnetic moments, hence their potential energy are not cancelled before and after passage of magnetic fields and their kinetic energy change finally when their spins are flipped in the fields. Nowadays most measurements of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) are carried out with ultra cold neutrons (UCN), whose kinetic energies are lower than about 300 neV, and with a small storage bottle to reduce the systematic errors. In such experiments highly dense UCNs are desired. The spallation neutron sources generate high-density neutrons, however, the pulsed neutrons with several velocities are diffused in guide tubes under long beam intervals. It is necessary to focus and rebunch UCN temporally upon the bottle by controlling their velocities in nEDM experiments at those facilities. We demonstrated such rebuncher and have been developed the advanced apparatus which makes it possible to handle broader energy range UCN. The design, measured characteristics, the experimental setup and the obtained results at J-PARC will be described.

	Funding: NASA In March 2014, we have successfully commissioned a newly designed low charge high brightness laser ion source (LIS) which delivers various singly charged heavy ions to the electron beam ion source (EBIS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Now the LIS is used at routine operation of the RHIC-AGS accelerator complex and is providing stable less-contaminated beams. The laser power density was optimized to provide singly charged ions with low material consumption rate. The nominal laser energy on the target is around 500 mJ with 1064 nm Nd:YAG of the wave length. The induced plasma by the laser is transported through a 3 m pipe to stretch ion beam pulse length to match the EBIS’s requirement and the degradation of the beam current caused by the long drift section of the pipe can be compensated by a longitudinal magnetic filed induced by a coil surrounding the pipe. We also employed a twin laser system to extend the beam width further. At the conference, we will discuss the effect of the new LIS on the various accelerated beams through the EBIS, RFQ and IH-linac.

	We have studied intense heavy ion acceleration using direct plasma injection scheme (DPIS). The DPIS consists of a laser ion source and RFQ linac. The produced laser ablation plasma is transported to an RFQ directly and the high brightness heavy ion flux can be efficiently captured by the RF focusing force. In the scheme, one of the most important key issues is how to control the ablation plasma properties. Recently we have tried to use a sub nano second laser system and found that the depth of plasma surface layer, where the laser energy is absorbed, is too thin to heat the plasma. To overcome this issue, the laser beam is split into two beams and those reached at the same spot on the target surface with a few nano second time interval. We will report the experimental results of the new irradiation technique.
