Summary Kaonic-3He Balmer-series x-rays will be measured with precision of a few eV (E17). We employed the similar technique as KEK-PS E570 (SDD, In-beam energy calibration, Fiducial volume cut ) Detector construction is in progress. (Beam line detectors, CDS, LHe-3 target, SDD) K1.8BR beamline tuning was started. We succeeded in identification of K+ by TOF measurement. Soon, we will start data taking at J-PARC 14/14
