NEW POWER SUPPLY OF THE INJECTION BUMP MAGNET FOR UPGRADING THE INJECTION ENERGY IN THE J-PARC 3-GeV RCS

With the energy upgrading of LINAC (Linear accelerator) to 400 MeV in the J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) [1, 2], a new power supply of the injection bump magnet [3 6] has been designed for the 3-GeV RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) [7, 8]. The new power supply of the shift bump-magnet (SB magnet) [9, 10] is composed with the capacitor bank which has function to form the output current pattern. This power supply is a commutation strategy using the electrical charge and discharge of the capacitor, and the frequency of the switch that becomes the source of the noise is a little. Comparing to the conventional switching-type power supply, this power supply is switched only three times for the pattern formation. Thus, the ripple due to the switching can be expected to be much lower. The 1/16 scale model was manufactured and the characteristics was evaluated. This paper summarizes the design parameter and the experimental result of the new power supply.
