	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.

WEA2C1	Tune Optimization for Alleviating Space Charge Effects and Suppressing Beam Instability in the RCS of CSNS	228
	S.Y. Xu, L. Huang, M.Y. Huang, Y. Li, S. Wang IHEP, Beijing, People’s Republic of China
	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.

	The China Spallation Neutron Source¿CSNS¿accelerator comprises an 80MeV linac and a 1.6GeV rapid cycling synchrotron. It started operation in 2018, and the beam power delivered to the target has increased from 20kW to 140kW, step by step. Various beam loss studies have been performed through the accelerator to improve the beam power and availability. For the CSNS linac, the primary source of the beam loss is the halo generated by beam mismatches. In the upgrade plan of the CSNS, the beam current will increase five times, which requires more strict beam loss control. Much work is done during the design phase to keep the loss down to 1W/m of loss limit. This paper will report results obtained from beam experiments and optimization methods applied to the CSNS linac upgrade design.

THA1I1	Performance and Upgrade Considerations for the CSNS Injection	326
	M.Y. Huang, S. Wang, S.Y. Xu IHEP, Beijing, People’s Republic of China
	Funding: This work is jointly supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 12075134) and the Guangdong Basic and Applied Basic Research Foundation (No. 2021B1515120021). For the proton synchrotron, the beam injection is one of the most important issues. Firstly, based on the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), the injection methods have been comprehensively studied, including phase space painting and H⁻ stripping. In order to solve the key difficulties faced when the beam power exceeds 50% of the design value, flexibility in the CSNS design has been exploited to implement the correlated painting by using the rising current curve of the pulse power supply. The effectiveness of the new method has been verified in the simulation and beam commissioning. By using the new method, the beam power on the target has successfully risen to the design value. Secondly, for the CSNS upgrade, the injection energy is increased from 80 MeV to 300 MeV and the injection beam power is increased by about 19 times. Based on the CSNS experience and simulation results, it is hoped that the new injection scheme can not only be compatible with correlated and anti-correlated painting, but also greatly reduces the peak temperature of the stripping foil. After in-depth study, a new painting scheme has been proposed which has been verified to be feasible in the simulation.
