be performed with the K1.1 beam line optimized for K+ ! !+""̄ . The limited Phase1 budget allows, however, one primary line and one production-target in the K-Hall [1].An example of preliminary layout of the K-Hall is shown in Fig. 10. A low-energy, two-stage separated K+ beam line, viewing the T1 target at 6 degree and in 24-m long, isconsidered.
Figure 10: Preliminary layout of the K-Hall. “K1.1” to the right is for low-energy K+’s.
To reduce the pion contamination and the background to K+ ! !+""̄ due to beampions scattered into the detector, a K+ beam line with a high K+/!+ ratio (> 3)should be constructed at K-Hall. The K+ momentum must be low (600-800 MeV/c).Right now we are investigating the optimization of the kaon beam line for K+ ! !+""̄at the K-Hall, based on the experience of E787 and E949. An idea is a shorter beamline with lower K+ momentum.
• The counting-rates in the most subsystems related to the beam analysis and photonveto analysis in the E787 and E949 detectors were proportional to the incident kaons,not to the kaons at rest in the target [38]. That means, with the same incident fluxand by lowering the beam momentum (and reducing the amount of material in thedegrader), the kaon stopping fraction increases while accidental hits decrease 6.
6Also, using additional proton intensity to extend the spill length without increasing the instantaneousrate raises the number of kaon decays per hour without impacting the acceptance.

- Requirement from T2K: 2.0E20 protons on the ν target by the 2010 summer shutdown. - Guideline :Beam loss at each extraction point < 25 -100 W to keep residual radiation level < 1mSv/h.

Expectation from NP08
! Neutrinos + Approved Hadrons :
– Reconfirm the construction schedule.
– Desired scenario for the beamtime schedule.
– Needed upgrades for 2009 – 2014.
! Non Approved Experiments:
– Find scientific opportunities.
– Desired location of the experiment.
– Cost (if known) and other requests to the J-PARC.
– Potential participants.
– International contributions, if any.
– Any other issues.
! Preparation for the Users Steering Committee:
– Timeline of all proposed projects.
– Priority setting among individual proposals, if at all possible.
– Demand to the accelerator.
– International competition and/or coordination.

What subjects are we going to study,in the Phase 1 experiments (E14, TREK),
to develop the Phase 2 plan ?
What proton beam do we request to the Main Ring ?
50 GeV ? - no big merit in K yield, in photon veto
more intensity ?

slow extraction pattern and Beam Power
• Phase-I Extraction Energy 30GeV• Phase-II Extraction Energy 50GeV
Beam Power Final Goal @30GeV330-180 kW (180MeV Linac)540-300 kW (400MeV Linac)
• Reducing beam loss is crucial for slow extraction at the high beam intensity.
• First beam commissioning (low beam power ~1.2kW)
establishment of beam handling technique and stability/reliability for hardware
• Beam intensity would be increased step by step with reducing beam loss toward final goal
What facility do we request for Phase 2 ?
extension of Hadron Hall ? - Should we say we MUST have the extended Hadron Hall ? by 2014 ? - we do not like to have “long shutdown” for it before running E14, TREK
new primary beam (B-line) ? - for KL line with small angle
next to E14 for the B.R. measurement
• Optimized beamline with 5deg angle for
• higher KL momentum <PK>=5.2GeV/c
• higher yield: 4.4E7/2µsr /3E14pot
