	EMMA (Electron Machine with Many Applications) is a prototype non-scaling Fixed-Field Alternating Gradient (ns-FFAG) accelerator whose construction at Daresbury Laboratory, UK, was completed in the autumn of 2010. The energy recovery linac ALICE will serve as an injector for EMMA, within an energy range of 10 to 20 MeV. The injection line consists of a symmetric 30 degree dogleg to extract the beam from ALICE, a matching section and a tomography section for transverse emittance measurements. This is followed by a transport section to the injection point of the EMMA ring. The ring is composed of 42 cells, each containing one focusing and one defocusing quadrupole. Acceleration over many turns of the EMMA machine has recently been confirmed. In some cases the bunch will traverse upwards of 100 turns, at which point the effects of space-charge may be significant. It is therefore necessary to model the electron beam transport in the ring using a code capable of both calculating the effect of and compensating for space-charge. Therefore the General Particle Tracer (GPT) code has been used. A range of injection beam parameters have been modeled for comparison with experimental results.

	As part of the development of the ESS-Bilbao Accelerator in Spain, two different sets of radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) models have been developed. On one hand, a set of four oxygen free high conductivity copper weld test models has been designed and manufactured, in order to test different welding methods as well as other mechanical aspects involved in the fabrication of the RFQ. On the other hand, a 352.2 MHz four vane RFQ cold model, with a length of 1 meter, has been designed and built in Aluminum. It serves as a good test bench to investigate the validity of different finite element analysis (FEA) software packages. This is a critical part, since the design of the final RFQ will be based on such simulations. The cold model also includes 16 slug tuners and 8 couplers/pick-up ports, which will allow to use the bead-pull perturbation method, by measuring the electric ﬁeld profile, Q-value and resonant modes. In order to investigate fabrication tolerances, the cold model also comprises a longitudinal test modulation in the vanes, which is similar to the one designed for the final RFQ.
