  At the 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) within the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), kicker impedance causes beam instability. A 1-MW beam with a large emittance can be delivered to the Material and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) by suppressing beam instabilities without the need for a transverse feedback system¿simply by turning off the sextuple magnets. However, we require other high-intensity and high-quality beams with smaller emittances for the Main Ring (MR). To address this, we proposed a scheme for suppressing the kicker impedance using a diode stack and resistors, which effectively reduces beam instability. Importantly, these devices have a negligible effect on the extracted beam from the RCS.

  ISIS is a pulsed, spallation neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. The rapid cycling synchrotron which drives the facility accelerates 3·1013 protons-per-pulse from 70 to 800 MeV at 50 Hz, and delivers a mean beam power of 0.2 MW to two target stations. Beam-loss mechanisms must be understood to optimise performance and minimise equipment activation; and to develop mitigation methods for future operations and new accelerators. Substantial beam-losses are driven by a vertical head-tail instability, which has also limited beam intensity. Beam-based impedance measurements suggest the instability is driven by a low-frequency narrowband impedance, but its physical origin remains unknown. More generally, research into the nature of the instability is hindered without a detailed transverse impedance model. This paper presents a survey of vertical impedance estimates for ISIS equipment, using analytical methods, low frequency CST simulations and lab-based coil measurements. The final impedance estimate is then used as an input to a new linearised Vlasov solver, and predicted growth rates compared with previously obtained experimental results.
