  At LNL INFN is under construction a Rare Isotope Facility called "Selective Production of Exotic Species" (SPES) based on a 35-70 MeV proton cyclotron, able to deliver two beams with a total current up to 0.75 mA, an ISOL fission target station and an existing ALPI superconducting accelerator as a post accelerator (up to 10 MeV/u for A/q=7). After an overview of the whole facility, the paper will cover notably: the high-resolution mass separator, the CW RFQ (80 MHz, 727 keV/u, internal bunching), the low energy transfer line and the post accelerator. The problems that have been solved during the design phase are partly common to all RIB facilities, like the necessity to have an high selectivity and high transmission for a beam of a very low intensity, plus the specific challenges related to the use of ALPI (with a reduced longitudinal acceptance) and related to the specific lay out. At present the design phase has been finalized, and the procurement procedure for the charge breeder, the transfer lines and the RFQ are in an advanced state.

  Within the SPES project at INFN-LNL a new injection line will be built at INFN LNL in order to transport and match the RIBs to the existing ALPI superconducting linac. This line includes a new RFQ that will operate in a CW mode (100% duty factor) at the operating frequency of 80MHz. The RFQ is composed of 6 modules about 1.2 m long each. Each module is in turn basically composed of a Stainless Steel Tank (AISI LN 304) and four OFE Copper Electrodes. A copper layer will be electrodeposited on the tank inner surface and a spring joint between tank and electrode is used in order to seal the RF. Moreover, the electrodes are equipped with two brazed SS inserts in order to allow coupling with the tank. In order to remove the RF power (about 100 kW) as well as to allow frequency control during high power operation for a given cooling channel layout, a set of thermo-structural simulations was performed, whose input data were the RF Power densities calculated with 2D and 3D codes. In this paper the analytical and numerical methods used, as well as the main outcomes of these studies are presented.
