The cooler storage ring synchrotron CSR of HIRFL started running in 2008. The SFC (Sector Focusing Cyclotron) and SSC (Separator Sector Cyclotron) form an injector for the CSR. To improve beam intensity and/or injection efficiency, a new linear injector, the SSC-LINAC, for the SSC has been proposed to replace the existing SFC. The SSC-LINAC consists of an ECR ion source, LEBT, a RFQ, MEBT, and four IH-DTLs. This paper only represents the design research of the RFQ accelerator, which has a frequency of 53.667MHz. The ions up to uranium with ratio of mass-to-charge up to 7 are accelerated and injected into the CSR by the SSC-LINAC. The SSC-LINAC works on CW mode. The RFQ beam dynamic design study is based on 238U34+ beams with intensity of 0.5mA. The inter-vane voltage is 70kV with a maximum modulation factor of 1.93. It uses a 2.5m-long 4-rod structure to accelerate uranium ions from 3.728keV/u to 143keV/u with transmission efficiency of 94%. The RFQDYN code checks the transmission of different kinds of ions in the RFQ. The specific shunt impedance of RFQ is optimized to 438kΩ.m. The design of cavity tuning and the water cooling system are also included in this paper.
