“…In order to obtain the horizontal and vertical emittances of the circulating beam, the particle tracking [21][22][23] of the correlated painting injection and acceleration processes will be simulated by the codes ORBIT [24,25] and Py-ORBIT [26,27]. During the particle tracking, 2 × 10 5 macro-particles are used in the simulations and the number of macro-particles is enough to make the simulation results stable [28]. The turn number of the whole acceleration process is about 20000.…”

The accelerator complex of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) consists of an 80 MeV H- Linac and a 1.6 GeV proton rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). The beam injection is one of the most important issues for the CSNS accelerator complex. In this paper, the injection methods have been comprehensively studied, including phase space painting and H- stripping. By using the design scheme of the anti-correlated painting, the beam power has successfully reached 50 kW. However, some difficulties have been found in the higher power beam commissioning. In order to solve these key problems, flexibility in the CSNS design has been exploited to implement the correlated painting by using the rising current curve of the pulse power supply. The effectiveness of the new method has been verified in the simulation and beam commissioning. By using the new method, the beam power on the target has successfully risen to the design value. Secondly, according to the CSNS beam commissioning experience, based on the present design of the injection system, a new idea is proposed to perform both correlated and anti-correlated painting in the CSNS. By adopting an additional vertical shift bump generated by four additional alternating current (AC) magnets in the injection region, the local orbit can be manipulated to meet the requirement of correlated painting. The new method can not only perform the correlated painting, but also optimize the anti-correlated painting. The simulation study shows that the new method works well, and both correlated and anti-correlated painting methods are well performed.
