PXIE is a prototype front end system for the proposed PIP-II accelerator upgrade at Fermilab. An integral component of the front end is a 162.5 MHz, normal conducting, CW (continuous wave), radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) cavity that was designed and is being fabricated by LBNL. This RFQ will accelerate a continuous stream of up to 10mA of H ions from 30 keV to 2.1 MeV. The four-vane, 4.45 meter long RFQ consists of four modules, each constructed from 2 pairs of identical modulated vanes. Vane modulations are machined using a custom carbide cutter designed at LBNL. Other machined features include ports for slug tuners, pi-mode rods, sensing loops, vacuum pumps and RF couplers. Vanes at the entrance and exit possess cutbacks for RF matching to the end plates. The vanes and pi-mode rods are bonded via hydrogen brazing with Cusil wire alloy. The brazing process mechanically bonds the RFQ vanes together and vacuum seals the module along its length. Vane fabrication is successfully completed, and the braze process has proved successful. Delivery of the full RFQ beam-line is expected in the middle of 2015.

  The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment aims to demonstrate the transverse cooling of amuon beam by ionization in energy absorbers. The final MICE cooling channel configuration has two RF modules, each housing a 201 MHz RF cavity used to compensate the longitudinal energy loss in the absorbers. The LBNL team has designed and fabricated all MICE RF cavities. The cavities will be post-processed and RF measured before being installed in the RF modules. We present the recent progress on this work, including the low level RF measurement on cavity body and Be windows, the electro-polishing (EP) on the cavity surface, the numerical simulation on cavity Be window detuning, and the ongoing mechanical designing work of cavity components.
