A β=0.5 5-cell 704 MHz cavity was developed in the framework of european R&D programs on high intensity pulsed proton injectors. Medium beta elliptical cavities are known to be sensitive to Lorentz detuning, which can become difficult to deal with in pulsed operation. The cavity was optimized to reduce the Lorentz detuning by means of two series of rings welded around the irises, and equipped with a piezo tuning system . In order to test the cavity in pulsed mode, a power coupler with 1 MW capability was connected to the cavity. We report here on the fully equipped cavity tests at 1.8 K carried out in the horizontal cryostat Cryholab at Saclay to study its Rf and mechanical behavior in pulsed mode, mostly with 2 ms pulses at a 50 Hz repetition rate. The compensation of Lorentz force detuning has been achieved at an accelerating gradient of 13 MV/m (44 MV/m peak surface electric field).
