	A new additional linac injector called RILAC2 has been constructed at the RIKEN Nishina Center so that RIBF experiments and synthesis of super-heavy element can be carried out independently. The RILAC2 consists of a 28-GHz superconducting ECR ion source (SC-ECRIS), a low-energy beam transport with a prebuncher, a four-rod RFQ linac, three drift-tube linac tanks (DTL1-3), a rebuncher between the RFQ and DTL1, and strong quadrupole magnets that were placed between the rf resonators for the transverse focusing. Very heavy ions with mass-to-charge ratio of 7, such as ¹³⁶Xe²⁰⁺ and ²³⁸U³⁵⁺, are accelerated up to an energy of 680 keV/u in the cw mode and injected into the RRC without charge stripping. The rf resonators excluding the pre-buncher are operated at a fixed rf frequency of 36.5 MHz, whereas the pre-buncher is operated at 18.25 MHz. The basic design of the RILAC2 was finished in 2006 and the construction has started since the budget was approved at the end of FY2008. The SC-ECRIS is installed in a new room, and other equipments are placed in the existing AVF-cyclotron vault. This contribution mainly presents the details of the construction of linac part.

A new additional linac injector called RILAC2 has been constructed at the RIKEN Nishina Center so that RIBF experiments and synthesis of super-heavy element can be carried out independently. The RILAC2 consists of a 28-GHz superconducting ECR ion source (SC-ECRIS), a low-energy beam transport with a prebuncher, a four-rod RFQ linac, three drift-tube linac tanks (DTL1-3), a rebuncher between the RFQ and DTL1, and strong quadrupole magnets that were placed between the rf resonators for the transverse focusing. Very heavy ions with mass-to-charge ratio of 7, such as ¹³⁶Xe²⁰⁺ and ²³⁸U³⁵⁺, are accelerated up to an energy of 680 keV/u in the cw mode and injected into the RRC without charge stripping. The rf resonators excluding the pre-buncher are operated at a fixed rf frequency of 36.5 MHz, whereas the pre-buncher is operated at 18.25 MHz. The basic design of the RILAC2 was finished in 2006 and the construction has started since the budget was approved at the end of FY2008. The SC-ECRIS is installed in a new room, and other equipments are placed in the existing AVF-cyclotron vault. This contribution mainly presents the details of the construction of linac part.
