  The upgrade of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS-II) encompasses the development of a dual har-monic RF system for the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS). The objective of this system is to achieve a maxi-mum second harmonic voltage of 100 kV. To meet this requirement, a high gradient cavity is being used in place of the traditional ferrite loaded cavity. Magnetic alloy (MA) loaded cavities, which can attain very high field gradients, have demonstrated their suitability for high-intensity proton synchrotrons. As a result, designing an RF system with MA-loaded cavities has emerged as a primary focus. Over the past decade, substantial ad-vancements have been made in the development of MA-loaded cavities at CSNS. This paper provides an overview of the RF system that incorporates the MA-loaded cavity and presents the high-power test results of the system.

  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.
