  In the summer of 2014, lots of improvements were carried out in the J-PARC proton linac, including the ion source, the Radio Frequency Quadrupole linac (RFQ), and the medium-energy beam-transport line from the RFQ to the Drift Tube Linac (DTL) called as MEBT1. The output beam current of the ion source was upgraded from 20 to 50 mA. The previous RFQ with two RF power input ports was replaced by a newly developed RFQ with one input port. The RF power of the solid state amplifier for the rf cavities used in the MEBT1 section were upgraded; from 10 to 30 kW for both of the Buncher-1 and Buncher-2, and from 30 to 120 kW for the Chopper cavity. The old scraper used as dump of chopped beam after the Chopper cavity was also replaced by a new dump system using two scrapers; A new function of separating the chopped beam automatically to the two scrapers was developed by modifying the FPAG control program in the low level control systems. After those improvements, in the September 2014 the J-PARC linac was successfully upgraded for 50-mA beam operation. The details of the improvments, especially for the low level RF systems, will be reported in this paper.
