Initial acceleration of the beams in the LANSCE linear accelerator at Los Alamos National Laboratory is still presently accomplished through the use of two 750-keV Cockcroft-Walton (CW) based injectors. To reduce long-term operational risks and to realize future beam performance goals, plans are underway to replace the existing H⁺ CW injector with a modern replacement, 4-rod Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) based front end. Significant technical progress has been made since we last reported on this project. Status and progress of the design and fabrication of the RFQ, the RF system, beam transports, and integrated accelerator test stand will be discussed.
