Abstract

More than 50 radiation-resistant electromagnets were constructed for the primary proton and the secondary particle beam lines of the Hadron Experimental Hall of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The main radiation-resistant technologies we employed were the Polyimide-resin Insulation conductor for magnets at the relatively low radiation exposure and the Mineral Insulation Cable for magnets at the seriously high radiation environment. The remote handling and maintenance scheme of radiation-resistant magnets for seriously high radiation environment was developed also based on the Chimney magnet technology and applied to magnets near the production target in the Hadron Hall. On January 27th 2009, the first proton beam was successfully introduced to the Hadron Hall from the main accelerator of J-PARC, i.e. 50 GeV Proton Synchrotron. On February 10th, the secondary particles were extracted to the experimental area of the Hadron Hall through the secondary particle beam line. No serious problem happened on magnets of both primary proton and the secondary particle beam lines until the end of the beam operation scheduled on February 26th .
