| MOPAN045 | Longitudinal Particle Tracking of J-PARC RCS for Synchronization | 260 |
|
||
| We have performed particle tracking simulation of J-PARC RCS to study the synchronization process. A frequency offset is added to the nominal RF frequency pattern to shift the center of the bunch, under the condition of the offset value should be 'adiabatic' with respect to the synchrotron motion. Since the synchrotron frequency of the J-PARC RCS is substantially changed during acceleration, the particle tracking simulation helps to decide upper limit of the frequency offset which can be employed. | ||
| THPMN032 | Beam Generation and Acceleration Experiments of X-Band Linac and Monochromatic keV X-Ray Source of the University of Tokyo | 2784 |
|
||
| In the Nuclear Professional School, the University of Tokyo, we are constructing an X-band linear accelerator that consists of an X-band thermionic cathode RF gun and X-band accelerating structure. This system is considered for a compact inverse Compton scattering monochromatic X-ray source for the medical application. The injector of this system consists of the 3.5-cell coaxial RF feed coupler type X-band thermionic cathode RF gun and an alpha-magnet. The X-band accelerating structure is round detuned structure (RDS) type that developed for the future linear collider are fully adopted. So far, we have constructed the whole RF system and beam line for the X-band linac and achieved 2 MeV electron beam generation from the X-band thermionic cathode RF gun. In addition, we achieved 40 MW RF feeding to the accelerating structure. The laser system for the X-ray generation via Compton scattering was also constructed and evaluated its properties. In this presentation, we will present the details of our system and progress of beam acceleration experiment and the performance of the laser system for the Compton scattering experiment. | ||

| We have been testing the RF cavities for the J-PARC RCS, we can operate the cavities without sever problems. Before some MA cores were damaged, then we found such cores have low ribbon resistance. After that we have tested the cavities loaded with improved ribbon resistance. | ||

The RCS high frequency accelerating systems are prepared for beam commissioning in September 2007. Installations of cavities, power supplies and amplifiers have been carried out. The systems have been checked for operation and interoperability. For the MR high frequency accelerating system, the examination of the whole system and its final adjustment are done aiming at installation in October 2007. Here, we report on various issues which had been found and solved during the examination and installation period.

| WEPMN038 | Development of the Beam Chopper Timing System for Multi-Turn Injection to the J-PARC RCS | 2125 |
|
||
| Multi-turn injection using charge exchange is employed for the J-PARC Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS). To improve the bunching factor of the beam in the ring, the momentum offset injection scheme is used. In each turn, the bunch trains from the linac are injected into the RF buckets with a momentum offset. The bunch train is called the "intermediate pulse". The intermediate pulses are generated in the low energy section of the linac by the RF chopper and pre-chopper. Since the pulse must be synchronized to the RF voltage in the ring, the timing signals for the choppers are generated by the low-level RF (LLRF) system of the RCS and the signals are sent to the chopper control. The RF chopper and the pre-choppers require different pulse widths. Thanks to the direct digital synthesis (DDS) in the LLRF system, precise zero-cross signals for the reference of the chopper pulses are generated without difficulties. The cable route from the RCS LLRF system to the linac chopper control system is more than one kilometer. Thus, the chopper pulses are sent via optical cables. We developed the chopper timing module. We describe the details of the hardware and the preliminary test results. | ||
| WEPMN040 | MA Cavities for J-PARC with Controlled Q-value by External Inductor | 2131 |
|
||
|
The original J-PARC RCS cavity design* used cut-cores to control the Q-value. Adjusting the distance between the C-shaped core parts the optimum Q=2 is reached. Because of problems related to the cut-core surfaces, the "hybrid cavity" was introduced, using tanks with uncut cores (Q=0.6) in parallel to tanks with cut cores with a wider gap (Q=4), resulting in total Q=2. This was successfully tested. The manufacturing procedure for cut-cores involves more steps than for uncut cores. To reduce risks for long-term operation, the RCS cavities will be loaded with uncut cores for day-1 operation. With uncut cores (Q=0.6) the maximum beam power is limited. Therefore we introduce a parallel inductor, placed in the push-pull tube amplifier driving the cavity, to adjust the Q-value to 2. Parallel vacuum capacitors shift the resonance near to 1.7 MHz. Each of the 10 cavity systems for RCS, necessary for day-1 operation, is tested for at least 300 hours to detect initial problems before installation into the RCS tunnel. We report the results of cavity performance tests with external inductor, which simulate 25Hz operation and the optimization of the combined system of cavity and amplifier.
