  The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is a joint project of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), which started on April 1, 2001. The J-PARC accelerator complex is composed of a 400 MeV proton linac, a 3 GeV Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), and a 50 GeV Proton Synchrotron (MR). A 180-MeV beam ( in the first stage) accelerated by the linac is to be injected into the RCS, and further accelerated there to 3 GeV. The RCS will operate at 25 Hz, and will provide the Materials and Life Science Facility (MLF) with a 1-MW beam (600 kW during 180 MeV injection). There are two extraction sections in the MR: fast extraction for neutrino experiment and slow extraction for the Hadron Facility. A linac beam with a peak current of 30 mA and an energy of 19.7 MeV was successfully accelerated in Sep. 2004 using the first tank of the Drift Tube Linac in KEK. Now three accelerators are under installation. The beam commissioning of the linac will start in this December and those of the RCS and the MR will start in Sep. 2007 and May 2008, respectively. Status of installation and plan for commissioning run will be presented.

  Since 2002 several accelerator upgrades have been made to the ISIS spallation neutron source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK, and upgrades are currently continuing in the form of the Second Target Station Project. The paper reviews the upgrade programmes: a new extraction straight, replacement of the Cockcroft-Walton by an RFQ, installation of a second harmonic RF system, replacement and upgrading of installed equipment, design and installation of improved diagnostics in conjunction with beam dynamics simulations, the Second Target Station Project, design and construction of a front end test stand, and the MICE programme. The paper also looks forward to possible future schemes at ISIS beyond the Second Target Station Project.
