J-PARC Facilities and Physics

The J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), which consists of LINAC, RCS and MR synchrotron, has successfully produced wide variety of secondary beam (neutrons, muons, pions, kaons, and neutrinos) by steady commissioning since November 2006. There are three experimental facilities, and for nuclear and particle physics, ten experiments are approved in a hadron physics facility, and one experiment is approved in a neutrino physics facility. The facilities and status of these approved experiments in J-PARC are described in this paper.
