  The SPIRAL2 RFQ has been designed to accelerate a 5 mA deuteron beam (Q/A=1/2) or a 1 mA particle beam with q/A=1/3 up to 0.75 MeV/A at 88MHz. It is a CW machine which has to show stable operation, provide the required availability and reduce losses to a minimum in order to minimize the activation constraints. Extensive modelisation was done to ensure a good vane position under RF. The prototype of this 4-vane RFQ has been built and tested in INFN-LNS Catania and then in IN2P3-LPSC Grenoble. It allowed us to measure the vacuum quality, the RF field by X-ray measurements, the cavity displacement and the real vane displacement during the RF injection. Different techniques were used, including an innovative and effective CCD measurement with a 0.6 μm precision. This paper outlines the different results.

  Spiral 2 is a 40 MeV superconducting linac under construction at GANIL. The RF couplers have to provide a 12 kW CW power to the cavities at 88 MHz. Two solutions corresponding to 2 different technologies have been designed and 2 prototypes have been built. We present the technical proposals and issues as well as the results (manufacturing, test at low and high power, multipacting…) leading to the final choice.
