Introduction - J-PARC Neutrino beamline - Proton Beam Power at J-PARC � ~100 times larger than K2K (750 kW) Beam loss induces large radiation dose. (Total Beam loss limit : 1W/m in Arc) The Arc Section consists of super-conducting magnets.

Collimators and Shield in Preparation Section Beam core: ε =6 [π∗ mm*mrad] , dP/P = 0.3% Acceptance Preparation section : ε =60 [π∗ mm*mrad] Arc section : larger than preparation section To controll the energy deposit in the arc section, the design of the preparation section is important. We have varied the design parameters, and estimated the beam loss in the arc section. Components we studied with simulation Preparation section Beam Collimators Radiation shield at the exit of the preparation section

On this assumption, energy deposit in each component were normalized.

Collimator design To protect the Arc magnets from beam loss, collimators in thickness length gap preparation section scrape off the beam halo. gap width beam beam Current design Thickness : 50 cm Fills up as much drift space as Length : 1.45 ~ 3.0 m possible. Gap height : 3.1 ~ 9.5 cm These gap sizes are designed to Gap width : 6.4 ~ 12.1 cm accept particles in ε = 60 [ π * mm * mrad] . � Very large collimators (very conservative)

Collimator design - Thickness of collimators - We checked whether we can make collimators smaller without increase of the beam loss in super-conducting magnets in arc section and conventional magnets in preparation section.

Radiation Shield at the exit of preparation section Tunnel wall In order to protect the super- conducting magnets from shower particles generated in preparation Shield section, radiation shield can be placed at the exit of the preparation showers section. Beamline Assumed shield size : 1m thick, 3m wide (tunnel filler like illustrated in the left figure) ~3 m Arc Preparation section material of shield : concrete, iron or tungsten 1 m

Radiation Shield at the exit of preparation section The inner diameter of the shield : 100mm result is nearly identical with those without shield. smaller the energy deposit in the arc section increased, due (50 or 60mm) to the shower particles generated at the shield.

Summary We have carried out the J-PARC proton beamline simulation studies. We estimated the beam loss, and studied the design for collimators and radiation shield. Collimator Thickness : 5cm is good enough. length : > 1m needed. Radiation shield at the exit of preparation section The current simulation study does not favor.
