  We performed a beam test of a new 324-MHz 3-MeV RFQ (RFQ III) for the beam-current upgrade of the J-PARC linac. RFQ III is the first RFQ developed to meet the requirement of the J-PARC linac. The peak beam current is 50mA, pulse length is 500 micro-sec, and the repetition is 25 Hz. Before the installation to the accelerator tunnel scheduled in summer of 2014, we built a test stand for offline testing of the new ion source and RFQ. Basic performances of RFQ III such as transmission, transverse emittance, and energy spread were measured with short pulse length beams. In this paper, we present the results of the beam test.

  The J-PARC accelerator comprises an injector linac, a 3-GeV Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron and a 50-GeV Main Ring. The beam energy of the linac has been upgraded from 181MeV to 400MeV in 2013. For the beam current upgrade, the new frontend (RF ion source, RFQ, chopping system) installation is scheduled in summer 2014 for 1MW operation at RCS. The RFQ III, which is designed for 50mA beam acceleration from 0.05MeV to 3MeV, has been fabricated and the high-power test has started at April 2013 at the test station in the J-PARC. The test station consists of the ion source, the LEBT, the RFQ, and the diagnostics devices. The nominal RF power and RF duty of the RFQ III are 380kW and 3%(0.6ms and 50Hz), respectively. The high-power conditioning reached to the 120% of the nominal power with 1.5% (0.6ms, 25Hz) RF duty within 24 hours. Then, we performed the beam operation at the test station and measured beam parameters after the RFQ III. The results of the high-power conditioning and the stability of the RFQ operation with beam will be discussed.
