  Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) cavities have been installed to increase the beam energy of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) linac from 181 to 400 MeV in the maintenance period of 2013. Some of the pillbox type input couplers with a ceramic window to the ACS cavity have a larger coupling factor than the target value by an avoidable manufacturing error. To adjust the coupling factor, a capacitive iris was introduced in the rectangular waveguide near the coupler. As a result, it has been confirmed that the iris decreases the coupling factor to a target value without any significant increase in temperature and in a discharge rate during high-power operation. In this paper, the design procedure of the capacitive iris and the result of the coupling factor adjustment are presented.

  J-PARC has installed the Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) linac to increase the beam energy up to 400 MeV. One ACS module is composed of two accelerating tanks which are coupled by the bridge cavity. The bridge cavity simplifies the handling of the multi-tank system. While it is possible to feed the RF power into the each tanks directly with the power divider and the phase shifter instead of the bridge cavity. The rf properties of the ACS linac with the direct rf-power supply system has been measured by using the low power model made of aluminum. The measured results are described in the paper.

  The linac of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), which is an injector to a 3-GeV synchrotron, comprised a 3-MeV RFQ, 50-MeV DTLs and 181-MeV Separated-type DTLs. From September 2013, 25 annular-ring coupled structure (ACS) cavities were additionally installed to increase the linac beam energy up to 400 MeV and achieve 1-MW beam power of the 3-GeV synchrotron. After installation work the high power conditioning was started from December 2013 and most of the ACS cavities were conditioned within three weeks. We passed through some troubles and finally finished conditioning all the cavities until the middle of January 2014. In this paper, we present the conditioning results and how to handle the issue in the conditioning process.

  An energy upgrade project has started to achieve the design beam power of 1 MW at the exit of the downstream synchrotron in the J-PARC Linac since 2009. In the upgraded project, a beam energy in the Linac has increased from present 181 MeV to 400 MeV using the additional 21 annular-ring coupled structure (ACS) cavities. The new beam monitors as the beam current monitors, the phase monitors, the beam position monitors, the transverse profile monitors (wire scanner monitors) and the longitudinal profile monitors (bunch shape monitors) for the part where the ACS cavities were installed were designed, fabricated and calibrated. Till the end of November, 2013, all beam monitors were completed to be installed. From the middle of December, we started the beam commissioning to achieve the beam energy as 400 MeV, as well as to confirm the beam monitor functioning. We achieved the 400 MeV beam acceleration at the middle of January, 2014 using newly installed beam monitors. This paper describes the beam monitor installation, calibration and the beam commissioning results of beam monitor functioning.
