The accelerator complex consists of a proton linac, a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) and a Main Ring synchrotron (MR). Accelerator buildings for the linac and RCS were completed and installation of accelerator components has started and the construction of the control system for these accelerators has also started while the MR tunnel is still under construction. The commissioning of the linac is scheduled in September, 2006 and that of RCS is in May 2007. Part of the tunnel for MR has already been constructed and installation has been started but the rest of it will be completed in next year. The first part of the linac, Ion Source (IS), Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) linac and Drift-Tube Linac (DTL) were once installed in KEK and tested there with the control system based on EPICS. These accelerators were dismantled and transported to Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) Tokai site of Japan Atomic Energy Research Organization (JAERO) for installation. The setup and test of the linac control system has just started. Software test and tuning will begin in the near future.Read More
