Perhaps due to the earthquake? Or does anyone know if it is just offline for some other reason (or for good).

I was trying to access this paper :
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?irn=2719169

as I lazily didn't want to have to walk over to the library to copy it, and I noticed none of the scanned KeK pdfs work for ANY articles.

Anyone have info on it?

There are still power outages at KEK: http://www.kek.jp/quake/en/index.html The preprint server is low on the list of problems they are facing.

A tsunami over the Library of Alexandria would be identical damage. Hope that they have a backup.
