Beyond 1 MW operation of the J-PARC RCS
The 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) has already been achieved the designed 1 MW operation to the Material and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF). However, to cope with the gradually getting faster operation cycle of the main ring synchrotron sharing more beam requires RCS to accelerate more than 1 MW beam per pulse for the MLF to ensure net 1 MW beam power at the MLF. Moreover, the beam sharing to the under designed 2nd MLF target facility has also to be considered. As a result, the next goal is to realize 1.5 MW beam power first and continue for 2 MW or even more. This will be done by injecting more particles in the RCS by increasing both peak current and pulse duration of the injection beam. Beam dynamics issues and possible scenarios to realize far beyond 1 MW in the RCS are presented.
