Research Efforts on Increase of IHEP Proton Synchrotron Intensity

The intensity of 5.6 · 1012 ppp attained at the IHEP accelerator with proton injection energy of 100 MeV is close to the incoherent Coulomb limit. The construction of a new 1.5 GeV injection system (fast cycling booster) to increase the accelerated beam intensity is near completion. A number of the main ring systems have been modified with the goal to get ready for the booster operation.
