An RF-driven $\mathrm{H^-}$ ion source has been developed and put into commissioning at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). The ion source features a silicon-nitride plasma chamber and an external antenna structure. It has demonstrated a maintenance interval exceeding 7,500 hours with nearly 100% availability.To achieve the goal of delivering a 500 kW beam power to the spallation...
CEA Paris-Saclay has been engaged for over three decades in developing high-intensity proton and deuteron sources, from the SILHI ECR ion source to large-scale projects such as FAIR, SPIRAL2, and LIPAc. Although these sources meet the required beam performance, continuous operation is limited by BN disk degradation. To enhance compactness, ease maintenance, and reduce beam emittance, a new...
During the long-term shutdown in FY2021, major upgrades of the main magnet system in the J-PARC Main Ring (MR) were carried out, including the installation of new power supplies, rearrangement of existing PSs, restructuring of magnet families, and cable re-wiring, contributing the beam extraction repetition period for the T2K experiment shortened from 2.48 s to 1.36 s, enabling operation at...
