LINAC-1

Outside of LINAC building is heavily damaged.

We are getting water from an outside fire-hydrant, as original cooling water system has not yet been fixed.

LINAC-2

Placing a temporal bridge for carrying in materials for repair.

Many pipes for supplying cooling

water were damaged.

Page 8: Status of J-PARC Shoji Nagamiya J-PARC Center  Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA)

Realigned accelerator cavities of DTL and SDTL were tested for water-tightness.

・ The floor level sagged 4 cm downward in the tunnel. Because accelerator cavities should be aligned within ±1 mm to each other along the beam line for the operation, they have been leveled and realigned where necessary. ・ Restoration work on the cooling water system and power supply is going smoothly.

Summary before December 9th of 2011

Main Buildings were almost OK– Many underpins for major buildings.

However, many utility buildings, roads, and added buildings had significant damage.– We used approximately 50 Oku Yen from a regular

operational budget. – In addition, we received 14.2 Oku Yen (JAEA) for

immediate use and 73.4 Oku Yen (KEK) for 3 yrs. When to recover ?

– Aiming at recovering by the end of this year. – Obtained already a permission of 55 MW from Nov.

Operation of Next Fiscal Year– Aiming towards 9 cycle (200 day) operations for users.

Unfortunately, the bubbler is no working properly, so that the neutron beam line can accept 100 kW at the time of first beams.

Necessity for Hadron Hall extension

J-PARC

primary lines

secondary lines

BNL-AGS

Too small area   ⇔   KEK-PS x2.4, BNL-AGS x4.1

Only 4 beam lines  ⇔  KEK-PS ~7 lines,   BNL-AGS ~15 lines

-> Ineffective operation (“output per operation cost” is bad.)

  Long waiting queue of approved experiments (At K1.8/K1.8BR lines, 6960 hours = more than 6 years )     -> Discourage users in the world. Predominance will be lost.

Extremely urgent !

First priority in nuclear physics community in Japan

RIKEN is considering its funding!
