Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 12, 040402 (2009) [22 pages]Beam commissioning of the 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research ComplexReceived 2 December 2008; published 30 April 2009 The 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) was commissioned in October 2007, and successfully accomplished 3 GeV acceleration on October 31. Six run cycles through February 2008 were dedicated to commissioning the RCS, for which the initial machine parameter tuning and various underlying beam studies were completed. Then since May 2008 the RCS beam has been delivered to the downstream facilities for their beam commissioning. In this paper we describe beam tuning and study results following our beam commissioning scenario and a beam performance and operational experience obtained in the first commissioning phase through June 2008. ©2009 The American Physical Society
