Description
J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex),
which intends to provide MW-class super-intense proton beam,
is under construction. First slow-beam extraction at 30 GeV is
scheduled
on December, 2008.
J-PARC-E14 experiment aims at first observation of
the rare decay $K_L^0 \to \pi^0 \nu \overline{\nu}$ using
intense $K_L^0$ beam.
E14 reuses most of the detector and beam-line components
for KEK-PS E391a with some necessary modifications and upgrades.
Thus E14 can get ready in a shorter preparation period,
and the first physics run is proposed in 2010 to
Program Advisory Committee.
In this contribution the strategy, plan and status of
the $K_L^0 \to \pi^0 \nu \overline{\nu}$ experiment at J-PARC
will be reported in detail.
