Present Status of the J-parc Accelerator
نویسنده
چکیده
Construction of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), which consists of a 400 MeV Linac, a 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), and a 50 GeV Main Ring (MR), commenced in 2001. J-PARC is a multipurpose accelerator complex. The RCS uses 1 MW proton beams to generate pulse neutrons that will be used for various research projects ranging from basic science to applied science at Materials and Life science Facility. A muon target is inserted at a position before the neutron target to generate high-intensity muons for use in various experiments. The MR has a fast-extraction mode and slow-extraction mode, to be used for neutrino experiments and hadron experiments, respectively. The Linac will start beam acceleration in December 2006, the RCS in September 2007, and the MR in May 2008.

Cold-model Tests of an Annular Coupled Structure for Upgrade of a J-parc Linac
An Annular Coupled Structure (ACS) has been developed for upgrade of a J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) linac from 180 MeV to 400 MeV. Although install area is prepared for the ACS cavities at an initial construction, it will be used as a beam-transport line temporarily. Aluminum and copper models were fabricated for RF properties confirmation based on an initial design, and f...

The Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) experiment is a next generation long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment utilising the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) high intensity proton synchrotron. After a brief introduction of the current understanding of neutrino mixing, the T2K experiment, its current status and the expected physics results are presented. Then, possibilities for futur...
متن کاملProspect of Heavy - ion Collision Experiments at J - PARC
In order to explore phase structures in high-baryon density regime of the QCD phase diagram and study dense quark/hadronic matter which may exist in the core of neutron stars, we proposed a heavy-ion program at J-PARC (J-PARC-HI). In heavy-ion collisions at J-PARC (1-19 AGeV/c), the maximum baryon density reaches 5-10 times the normal nuclear density. We designed heavy-ion acceleration scheme a...
متن کاملStatus of the J-parc Negative Hydrogen Ion Source
A cesium-free negative hydrogen ion source driven with a LaB6 filament is being operated for J-PARC. The beam commissioning of J-PARC accelerators started in November 2006. As of June 2010, there have been 34 beam commissioning or supply runs. In these runs, the ion source has been successfully operated in two different modes such as low current mode of 5 mA and high current mode of 30 mA. Acco...
