J-PARC MR beam simulations
The Japan Proton Accelerator Complex (J-PARC) is integrated by a set of high intensity proton accelerators. At this operation level, the monitoring and control of the beam losses and residual radiation are priority for its safe performance and maintenance. At Main Ring (MR), a discrepancy appears between the beam loss signal detected by the monitors and the residual dose measured. To understand this difference and the mechanism that produces these losses, a beam simulation study is implemented using the Strategic Accelerator Design (SAD) and Geometry and Tracking (Geant4) code.
