  The 3-GeV RCS of J-PARC now operates at high-intensity to nearly the designed 1 MW beam. The beam loss and the corresponding residual radiation is one of the key limitations against beam intensity ramp up. Recently, by a series of beam studies and feedback from numerical simulations, we have well mitigated the beam loss to a minimum level and also reduced the beam emittances for beam operation to the spallation neutron source as well as to the main ring. The residual beam loss at the designed 1 MW beam power occurs mostly due to the unavoidable foil scattering beam loss during multi-turn injection, while other beam loss sources have been well mitigated to realize a stable and higher availability beam operation at a nearly 1 MW beam power.

  The 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron at the Ja-pan Pro-ton Accelerator Research Complex was designed to provid 1-MW proton beams to the Material and Life Sci-ence Experimental Facility and Main Ring. Thanks to the improvement works of the accelerator system, we success-fully accelerate 1-MW beam with quite small beam loss. Currently, the beam power of RCS is limited by the lack of anode current in the RF cavity system rather than the beam loss. Recently we developed a new acceleration cavity that can accelerate a beam with less anode current. This new cavity enables us not only to reduce require-ment of the anode power supply but also to accelerate more than 1-MW beam. We have started to consider the way to achieve beyond 1-MW beam acceleration. So far, it is expected that up to 1.5-MW beam can be accelerated after replacement of the RF cavity. We have also contin-ued study to achieve more than 2 MW beam in J-PARC RCS.

  The application of magnetic alloy (MA) cores to the accelerating rf cavities in high intensity proton synchrotrons was pioneered for the J-PARC synchrotrons, the RCS and MR. The MA loaded cavities can generate high accelerating voltages. The wideband frequency response of the MA cavity enables the frequency sweep to follow the velocity change of protons without the tuning loop. The dual harmonic operation, where a single cavity is driven by the superposition of the fundamental and second harmonic rf voltages, is indispensable for the longitudinal bunch shaping to alleviate the space charge effects in the RCS. These advantages of the MA cavity are also disadvantages when looking at them from a different perspective. Since the wake voltage consists of several harmonics, which can cause bucket distortion or coupled-bunch instabilities, the beam loading compensation must be multiharmonic. The operation of tubes in the final stage amplifier is not trivial when accelerating very high intensity beams; the output current is high and the anode voltageis also multiharmonic. We summarize our effort against these issues in the operation of the RCS and MR for more than 10 years.
