Present Status of High-intensity Proton Accelerator Facility in Japan
نویسنده
چکیده
The construction of the Project for High-intensity Proton Accelerator Facility(Figure 1). in Japan has been started this year. The Japan Hadron Facility of KEK1 and the Neutron Science Project of JAERI2 merged to this project. The purpose of this Joint Project is to pursue frontier science in particle physics, nuclear physics, materials science, life science and nuclear technology. Accelerators for this project comprises a 600-MeV linac, a 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron(RCS) and a 50-GeV main ring. 600-MeV beam of the linac is transported to the accelerator-driven nuclear waste transmutation system (ADS). Material and Life-science Facility(MLF) that receives the beam from the RCS is used in neutron beam experiment and muon experiment. High-energy beam of 50-GeV main ring is used for elementary particle experiment and neutrino oscillation experiment. In this paper, the status of this project is described, and accelerator design is mainly presented.

The Present Status of the Jaeri/kek Joint Project for High-intensity Proton Accelerators
The high-intensity proton accelerator facility in Japan comprising a 600-MeV linac, a 3-GeV rapid-cycling synchrotron, and a 50-GeV synchrotron, has been officially approved for the construction of its Phase I. The Phase I includes the 1-MW pulsed spallation neutron source, but the 50-GeV ring can be operated up to only 30 GeV. The linac energy is limited to 400 MeV, which is not high enough fo...
