Abstract

Intensity upgrade studies have been performed at the KEK-PS for recent years in order to meet the need of new physics researches, especially the long base line neutrino oscillation experiment. Studies are concentrated on the reduction of the beam losses during injection, at the acceleration start and at the passing the transition energy. Obtained results to date are 6.8×10¹² particles at the acceleration start and 6.1×10¹² particles after acceleration, however an average beam intensity of 3-5×10¹² ppp are currently supplied for the experiments due to the beam loss during the slow extraction. We report the present results of these studies
