  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.

WEA3I1 Synchronous Phases and Transit Time Factor cavity, linac, accelerating-gradient, focusing 241

  Synchronous phases (¿s) and transit time factors (T) are THE key parameters for linac designs and operations. While the couple (¿s, T) is still our way of thinking the longitudinal beam dynamics, it is important to have in mind that the original ¿Panofsky¿ definition of these parameters is no longer valid in the case of high accelerating gradients leading to high particle velocity changes and in the case of multi-gap cavities. In this case, a new (¿s, T) definition allowing to keep both acceleration and longitudinal focusing properties is proposed. Examples are given in the SPIRAL2 linac case.

  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.

The muon collider offers an attractive path to a compact, multi-TeV lepton collider. However, the short muon lifetime leads to stringent requirements on the fast energy increase. While extreme energy gains in the order of several GeV per turn are crucial for a high elevated muon survival rate, ultra-short and intense bunches are needed to achieve large luminosity. The longitudinal beam dynamics of a chain of rapid cycling synchrotrons (RCS) for acceleration from around 60 GeV to several TeV is being investigated in the framework of the International Muon Collider Collaboration. Each RCS must have a distributed radio-frequency (RF) system with several hundred RF stations to establish stable synchrotron motion. In this contribution, the beam-induced voltage in each RCS is studied, assuming a single high-intensity bunch per beam in each direction and ILC-like 1.3 GHz accelerating structures. The impact of single- and multi-turn wakefields on longitudinal stability and RF power requirements is analysed with particle tracking simulations. Special attention is moreover paid to the beam power deposited into the higher-order modes of the RF cavities.

  The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction at JINR. The NICA project goal is to provide colliding beams for studies of collisions of heavy fully stripped ions and light p¿lairized ions. The NICA Collider includes two rings with 503 m circumference each and the injection complex. For the heavy ion mode, the injection complex consists of following accelerators: 3.2 MeV/u linac (HILAC), 600 MeV/u (A/Z=6) superconducting booster synchrotron (Booster) and main superconducting synchrotron (Nuclotron) with kinetic energy up to 3.9 GeV/u (A/Z=2.5). The injection complex has been under commissioning for more than 2 years. Its Run IV was carried from October 2022 to February of 2023. It was aimed on the injection complex preparation for the collider operations in the heavy ion mode. Additionally, the slowly extracted 3.9 GeV/u xenon beam was delivered to the BM&N experiment resulting in 250 million events in the detector. The paper discusses main results of the injection complex commissioning and plans for its further development. The beam commissioning of the collider is expected in the 2nd half of 2025.
