ESS RFQ: Installation and Tuning at Lund
Résumé
The 352 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) for the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) has been delivered by the end of 2019. It has been provided by CEA, IRFU, Saclay/France. It consists of five sections with a total length of 4.6 m and accelerates the 70 mA proton beam from 75 keV up to 3.6 MeV. It will be fed with 900 kW peak power through two coaxial loop couplers. The installation process (alignment, vacuum test), as well as the tuning process based on bead-pull measurements, is presented in this paper.
