J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility is designed to carry out a variety of particle and nuclear physics experiments with intense secondary particles generated by 750 kW proton beams. The first construction stage including the experimental hall, the primary beam line, and one secondary beam line (K1.8BR) has been completed at the end of December 2008. In order to handle the high intensity primary beam safely, we have developed many special devices working under severe radiation environment. The present article reports the current status of the Hadron Experimental Facility in detail.

The late Professor Kazuo Kondo (Department of Mathematics, Tokyo University, Japan) left a hitherto unknown a priori particle theory which provides predictions of massive particles which may be detected by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and related apparatus. This article briefly introduces Kondo's work and documents the derivation and masses of his expected hyper-mesons, hyper-hadrons, heavy leptons and massive neutrinos. Several particles in these classes may have already been detected.
