RF SYSTEMS FOR JHF SYNCHROTRONS
Based on the measurements of the magnetic cores and R&D works, MA(Magnetic Alloy)-loaded cavity will be adopted for the RF cavity of JHF 50 GeV Main Ring and 3 GeV Booster. Because of high stability at large RF amplitude, high gradient of acceleration voltage (>50 kV/m) is available. By a test cavity, 2.5 kV/core has been already achieved in the CW operation using one MA core of 2.5 cm thickness. For the pulse operation, 5.5 kV/core has been obtained. Another advantage is that the system does not require the tuning system because of the cavity band width is wide enough to cover the RF frequency. A stability analysis shows that the RF system without the tuning loop has wider stable region than high Q cavity system with the loop. A multi-particle simulation shows that the RF system is also stable for the periodic transient and the RF bucket distortion. However, the distortion should be corrected when the Q value of the cavity is low (Q<2).

BEAM LOADING EFFECTS IN JHF SYNCHROTRON
Beam loading effects on the rf system of JHF proton synchrotrons have been investigated by both computer simulation and experiment using a low energy electron beam. From the simulation results, it is found that even under the heavy beam loading the beam acceleration becomes stable if applying the beam loading compensation, and the compensation experiment is succeeded on proto-type Magnetic Alloy loaded cavity.

EVALUATION OF MAGNETIC ALLOYS FOR JHF RF CAVITY
A new type of rf accelerating cavity using a high permeability magnetic alloy (MA) has been developed for the high intensity JHF proton synchrotrons. Compared with ordinary ferrites, the MA cores are very stable at high rf magnetic field and thus very high accelerating gradient (=accelerating voltage per cavity length) is available. We have measured several magnetic alloys in order to find a proper material for the cavity. In this paper, the test results are summarized and the evaluation of these materials is presented.

A Measurement System Using Gp-Ib For A Magnetic Core Test Cavity
In the design of the RF system of the JHF (Japan Hadron Facilit y) proton synchrotrons, it is very important to find a magnetic core to which satisfies the required condition of the JHF accelerators[1]. Ferrite cores are usually used for the magnetic core of the proton synchrotron, however there are some problems. Generally, some ferrite cores have non-linear characteristics which depend on the RF magnetic field. And, there is a size-dependence of the characteristics. Thus, it is required to measure the characteristics of large size magnetic cores. To measure characteristics of the magnetic cores, we have developed a test cavity which is capable of measuring an actual size one, and measurement system using software ‘HP-VEE’[ 2,3] which is possible to control the measurement devices by using a GP-IB command directly. In this measuring system, the acquisition of data and calculation of the characteristics of the magnetic cores are automatically processed.

The first measurement of low-loss 9-cell cavity in a cryomodule at stf
We are constructing Superconducting RF Test Facility (STF) at KEK for the R&D of ILC accelerator. In the beginning of year 2008, we installed one high-gradient Low-Loss (LL) 9-cell cavity into a cryomodule (CM) at STF. We assembled the cavity with an input-coupler and peripherals in a clean room and the cavity package was dressed with thermal shields to be installed in a CM. At the room-temperature, we performed the processing of input-coupler up to the RF power of 350 kW. At the temperatures of 2 K, RF power was supplied from a klystron to the cavity. The lorentz force detuning of cavity was measured and the performance of the cavity packeage was tested. This article presents the results of the first test of the LL 9-cell cavity at 2 K in a CM.

The Nolen-Schiffer anomaly and isospin symmetry breaking in nuclear matter
Abstract The quark-meson coupling model which we have developed previously is extended to incorporate the δ meson. It is then used to study the Nolen-Schiffer anomaly and isospin symmetry breaking in nuclear matter. We find that, in combination with the u - d mass difference, the difference between quark scalar densities in protons and neutrons generates an effective neutron-proton mass difference of the right magnitude. Finally we find that isospin symmetry breaking in the quark condensates can be directly related to the δ meson field.

PROMISING PERFORMANCE OF THE Nb/Cu CLAD SEAMLESS SUPERCONDUCTING RF CAVITIES
For future large applications of superconducting RF cavities, one has to fabricate cost-effective cavities with high electric-field gradients. We have proposed the fabrication of L-band seamless cavities from Nb/Cu clad material in order to eliminate the electron beam welding process. A feasibility study on the fabrication of 1.3 GHz Nb/Cu Clad single cell cavities from the clad sheet material was done. Three single cell Nb/Cu clad seamless cavities were fabricated by the collaboration with INFNLNL in Italy. In this paper, cold test results of seamless type cavities obtained by the spinning method are presented. The best performance of the cavities was Eacc = 25.1 MV/m with Qo=2.5X10 10 at a temperature of 1.4 K, which is very promising.

Development of a Superconducting Cavity for the High Intensity Proton Linac in JAERI
The R&D work of a superconducting (SC) cavity for the high intensity proton linac in JAERI has been started in collaboration with KEK. The RF field calculation and the structural analyses of the cavity have been made for the design in the proton energy range between 100 and 1500 MeV. The results indicate the feasibility of the SC proton linac, while more optimization is required. A vertical test stand with a cryostat, a clean room and a water rinsing system has been constructed. We present the preliminary cavity design and the overview of the test stand.

SERIES TESTS OF HIGH-GRADIENT SINGLE-CELL SUPERCONDUCTING CAVITY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF KEK RECIPE
We have performed a series of vertical tests of single cell Nb superconducting cavities at 2 degrees Kelvin. These tests aimed at establishing the feasibility of reaching an accelerating gradient of 45 MV/m on a routine basis. The cavity profiles were all of the KEK low loss design and were fabricated from deep-drawn Nb half cups using electron beam welding. The cavity surface preparation followed an established KEK procedure of centrifugal barrel polishing, light chemical polishing, high temperature annealing, electro-polishing, and finally a high pressure water rinse. Of the six cavities tested, three exceeded 44 MV/m on the first test and the rest of three also exceeded 44 MV/m after additional electro-polishing. This clearly establishes the feasibility of this gradient.
