Abstract J-PARC is a world leading intensity frontier accelerator facility, consisting of a 400-MeV H⁻ linac, a 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) and a 30-GeV slow cycling Main Ring synchrotron (MR). The RCS delivered a 500 kW beam (4.2·10¹³ particles per pulse (ppp)) to the Material and Life science experimental Facility (MLF) in April of 2018, The design power of 1 MW will be delivered in the next few years. Construction of a second target station (2TS) of the MLF with beam power upgraded to 1.5 MW is now under discussion. The MR delivers proton beam to a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, T2K, by fast extraction (FX) and to the hadron experimental facility by slow extraction (SX). For the FX, the maximum beam power is 475 kW and 2.5·10¹⁴ ppp, the world highest ppp in synchrotrons, and for the SX 51 kW and 5.5·10¹³ ppp with an extremely high extraction efficiency of 99.5 %. To achieve 1.3 MW beam power for the neutrino experiment, upgrades to allow operation with a higher repetition rate are planned. The talk will review recent progress of J-PARC facility by highlighting technical challenges toward higher beam power together with future prospects.
