Abstract

A neutron beamline for the study of fundamental physics has been constructed at the spallation neutron source of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). In-flight measurement of the neutron lifetime and the development of the transport optics of ultracold neutrons are in progress. The present status of the beamline and these experiments is reported.
