To meet the requirement of a small output longitudinal beam emittance from the reaccelerator, a triple-harmonic buncher operating at the fundamental frequency of 80 MHz upstream the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) linac has been designed, manufactured and tested at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). The buncher consists of two coaxial resonators with a single gridded gap. One cavity provides both the fundamental and the third harmonic simultaneously with l/4 and 3l/4 modes respectively, while the other for the second harmonic with a l/4 mode. This buncher combines the advantages of using high quality factor resonator and only a pair of grids. Details on design considerations, electromagnetic simulations, and test results are presented.
