	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 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.
