Funneling is a method to increase low energy beam currents in multiple stages. The Frankfurt Funneling Experiment is a model of such a stage. The experiment is built up of two ion sources with electrostatic lens systems, a Two-Beam-RFQ accelerator, a funneling deflector and a beam diagnostic system. The two beams are bunched and accelerated in a Two-Beam RFQ. A funneling deflector combines the bunches to a common beam axis. Current work is the construction and beam tests of a new beam transport system between RFQ accelerator and deflector. With extended RFQ-electrodes the drift between the Two-Beam-RFQ and the rf-deflector will be minimized and therefore unwanted emittance growth reduced. First rf-measurements with the improved Two-Beam-RFQ will be presented.
