Abstract An intensity upgrade of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) included the installation of a new ion source (IS) and a radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) which to be used at first stage of acceleration. The linac is divided into two sections on the basis of operating frequencies and three sections on the basis of family of RF cavities to be used for the acceleration of 50 mA beam of H⁻ ions from 50 keV to 400 MeV. Low energy part of linac consists of an IS, a two-solenoid low energy beam transport (LEBT) and the RFQ. The transition from one section to another can limit the acceptance of the linac if these are not matched properly in both longitudinal and transverse plane. We performed a study to calculate the acceptance of the RFQ at zero current in which space charge effects are not considered. In addition, a particle tracking technique is employed to study the space charge effects in LEBT of the J-PARC linac after the intensity upgrade in order to match the beam to the RFQ. Also, RFQ tank level and intervene voltage calibration factor is determined by comparing the simulation results of the beam transmission with the test measurement of tank level vs. transmission.
