The Advanced Photo-injector EXperiment (APEX) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), consists in the development of an injector designed to demonstrate the capability of the VHF gun, a normal conducting 186 MHz RF gun operating in CW mode, to deliver the brightness required by X-ray FEL applications at MHz repetition rate. APEX is organized in 3 main phases where different aspects of the required performance are gradually demonstrated. The status and future plans for the project are presented.

  As one of the main components of the injector II of China ADS LINAC project, an RFQ working at 162.5MHz is used to accelerate proton beams of 15mA from 30 keV to 2.1 MeV. The four vane RFQ has been designed in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and built at the workshop of the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMP, CAS). Low power test of the cavity have been completed, and it shows the field flatness is within ±1% and the unloaded Q is 12600. RF conditioning has been completed, results of preliminary beam test show the output beam energy is 2.16 MeV with energy spread of 3.5% and the transmission efficiency is 97.9%. Continuous wave (CW) beam of 2.3 mA has been accelerated for more than one hour.

The design of a 1.3 GHz buncher cavity for the APEX project, a MHz repetition rate high-brightness photoinjector, is presented. The buncher cavity operates at 240 kV in CW mode, and it compresses the 750 keV beam from APEX gun through ballistic compression. Compared with a single cell design, a two-cell cavity doubles the shunt impedance to 7.8 MΩ, which greatly relaxes the requirements for both RF amplifier and cavity cooling. Coupler design, multipacting analysis, HOM analysis and thermal analysis will be presented in this paper.

The frequency of MICE cavities is controlled by pneumatic tuners as their operation is impervious to large magnetic fields. The mechanical and RF transfer functions of the tuner were simulated in ANSYS. The first of these tuning systems was assembled and tested at Fermilab. The mechanical response and the RF tuning transfer function have been measured and compared with simulation results. Finally the failure of different actuators has been simulated and tested to predict the operational limits of the tuner.
