  In 2013, the beam energy of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) linac is going to be increased from 181-MeV to 400-MeV by adding the annular-ring coupled structure (ACS) at the downstream of the 191-MeV drift tube linac. To install and operate all the ACS cavities in only five months of the energy upgrade shutdown in 2013, we decided to replace and upgrade all the related component of the beam line (cables, magnet power supplies and vacuum control systems) for the 400-MeV operation, in the period of the recovery from the Tohoku Earthquake which caused not negligible damage to the J-PARC accelerator facilities. The present beam line is operated by using some part of the 400-MeV componets. In this paper, the recovery of the beam transport, the present status and the future tasks of the beam energy upgrade will be presented.

  In this paper, we will report recent topics about J-PARC RFQs. First, the operating RFQ (RFQ I) have been recovered from the long shutdown due to the earthquake. This RFQ have been suffered from breakdown problem since 2008, therefore we have been developing a back-up RFQ (RFQ II). In April 2012, the high power test was successfully performed. Finally, we are fabricating a new RFQ for the beam-current upgrade of the J-PARC linac (RFQ III). The status of these RFQs are described.

  The J-PARC accelerator comprises an injector linac, a 3 GeV Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron and a 50 GeV Main Ring. The J-PARC linac has been operating for users with the beam energy of 181 MeV. The energy (to 400 MeV) and current (to 50 mA) upgrade of the linac is scheduled for 1MW operation at RCS. For the current upgrade, the fabrication of a new RFQ, which is designed for 50 mA acceleration, has been started. The engineering design and the fabrication technologies were carefully chosen to reduce the discharge risk during the operation. For good vacuum pumping, vanes and ports are brazed for the direct pumping through slits at the tuners. Also, we tried a chemical polishing to improve the smoothness of the vane surface. In this paper, we present the fabrication progress of a new RFQ in J-PARC linac.
