  The design betatron tune of the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is (4.86, 4.80), which allows for incoherent tune shifts to avoid serious systematic betatron resonances. When the operational bare tune was set at the design value, serious beam instability in the horizontal plane and beam loss induced by half-integer resonance in the vertical plane under space charge detuning were observed. The tunes over the whole acceleration process are optimized based on space charge effects and beam instability. In the RCS, manipulating the tune during the beam acceleration process is a challenge due to the quadrupole magnets being powered by resonant circuits. In the RCS of CSNS, a method of waveform compensation for RCS magnets was investigated to accurately manipulate the magnetic field ramping process. The optimized tune pattern was able to well control the beam loss induced by space charge and beam instability. The beam power of CSNS achieved the design value of 100 kW with small uncontrolled beam loss.

  Resonance extraction based on the RCS ring is an important aspect of beam applications. This article proposes a new design of resonance extraction based on the CSNS-RCS ring. By adjusting parameters such as the skew sextupole magnet, beam working point, RF-Kicker, etc., the simulation results from PyOrbit demonstrate the ability to rapidly extract a large number of protons within a few turns.

  The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) consists of an 80 MeV H⁻ Linac, a 1.6 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), beam transport lines, a target station, and three spectrometers. The CSNS design beam power is 100 kW, with the capability to upgrade to 500 kW. In August 2018, CSNS was officially opened to domestic and international users. By February 2020, the beam power had reached 100 kW, and through improvements such as adding harmonic cavities, the beam power was increased to 140 kW. During the beam commissioning process, the beam loss caused by space charge effects was the most significant factor limiting the increase in beam power. Additionally, unexpected collective effects were observed, including coherent oscillations of the bunches, after the beam power reached 50 kW. Through a series of measures, the space charge effects and collective instabilities causing beam loss were effectively controlled. This paper mainly introduces the strong beam effects discovered during the beam commissioning at CSNS and their suppression methods. It also briefly discusses the research on beam space charge effects and collective effects in the beam dynamics design of CSNS-II project.

  The CSNS accelerator achieved an average beam power on target of 100 kW in February 2020 and subsequently increased it to 125 kW in March 2022. Building upon this success, CSNS plans to further enhance the average beam power to 200 kW by doubling the particle number of the circulating beam in the RCS, while keeping the injection energy same. The space charge effect is a main limit for the beam intensity increase in high-power particle accelerators. By providing a second harmonic RF cavity with a harmonic number of 4, in combination with the ferrite cavity with a harmonic number of 2, the dual harmonic RF system aims to mitigate emittance increase and beam loss caused by space charge effects, thereby optimizing the longitudinal beam distribution. This paper will concentrate on the beam commissioning for the 140 kW operation subsequent to the installation of the magnetic alloy (MA) cavity. The commissioning process includes the optimization of RF parameters, beam studies, and evaluation of the beam quality and instability.
