	Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) cavities have been installed to increase the beam energy of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) linac from 181 to 400 MeV in the maintenance period of 2013. Some of the pillbox type input couplers with a ceramic window to the ACS cavity have a larger coupling factor than the target value by an avoidable manufacturing error. To adjust the coupling factor, a capacitive iris was introduced in the rectangular waveguide near the coupler. As a result, it has been confirmed that the iris decreases the coupling factor to a target value without any significant increase in temperature and in a discharge rate during high-power operation. In this paper, the design procedure of the capacitive iris and the result of the coupling factor adjustment are presented.

	In the J-PARC linac, the energy upgrade from 181 MeV to 400 MeV by the installation of annular-ring coupled structure (ACS) cavities was successfully achieved in 2013. In the next stage, we will schedule the intensity upgrade by the increase of the beam current by improving the front-end in this summer. Then, the high heat load of the scraper, which stops the kicked-beam by the RF chopper, is predicted to damage the surface. Therefore, we prepare the tandem scrapers to suppress the heat load. The half of the kicked beam leads to a scraper and the residual is to the other. Its chopping expedient will be achieved by reversing the phase of the RF chopper on the periodic cycle at the low-level RF system. In this paper, I would like to introduce this system and present the result of the low-level test.

	J-PARC has installed the Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) linac to increase the beam energy up to 400 MeV. One ACS module is composed of two accelerating tanks which are coupled by the bridge cavity. The bridge cavity simplifies the handling of the multi-tank system. While it is possible to feed the RF power into the each tanks directly with the power divider and the phase shifter instead of the bridge cavity. The rf properties of the ACS linac with the direct rf-power supply system has been measured by using the low power model made of aluminum. The measured results are described in the paper.

	The J-PARC accelerator comprises an injector linac, a 3-GeV Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron and a 50-GeV Main Ring. The beam energy of the linac has been upgraded from 181MeV to 400MeV in 2013. For the beam current upgrade, the new frontend (RF ion source, RFQ, chopping system) installation is scheduled in summer 2014 for 1MW operation at RCS. The RFQ III, which is designed for 50mA beam acceleration from 0.05MeV to 3MeV, has been fabricated and the high-power test has started at April 2013 at the test station in the J-PARC. The test station consists of the ion source, the LEBT, the RFQ, and the diagnostics devices. The nominal RF power and RF duty of the RFQ III are 380kW and 3%(0.6ms and 50Hz), respectively. The high-power conditioning reached to the 120% of the nominal power with 1.5% (0.6ms, 25Hz) RF duty within 24 hours. Then, we performed the beam operation at the test station and measured beam parameters after the RFQ III. The results of the high-power conditioning and the stability of the RFQ operation with beam will be discussed.
