Abstract
In the Japanese fiscal year JFY01, which started on April 1, 2001, a new accelerator project to provide high-intensity proton beams proceeded into its construction phase. This project, which is called the J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), is a joint project between two institutions, KEK and JAEA. We set a goal to achieve 1 MW proton beams at 3 GeV and 0.75 MW beams at 50 GeV. The construction period is 8 years, with anticipated first beams from the entire facility in the late fall of 2008, although the beams from the linac and 3 GeV were already accelerated and extracted in January and October 2007, respectively. In this chapter I describe the present status of the J-PARC.
