Since January 2007 all accelerator equipment of the Phase 1 for the 40MeV Proton/Deuteron Accelerator is at the SARAF site and installed for the commissioning. The target of Phase 1 is to get the ECR ion source and RFQ into operation and to perform all relevant test with the cryo module housing 6 super conducting half wave resonators, to show that the design values of the system can be reached. Based on those results the Phase 2 shall start, to reach the final energy of 40MeV with up to 2mA of Protons and Deuterons. The ECR source is in routine operation since June 2006, the RFQ already have been operated with Protons and currently is under characterisation. After the characterisation has been finalised it is anticipated to move the cryo module in the beam line and to perform further beam characterisation. The entire beam characterisation is closely followed by beam dynamics simulations. Recent results of the commissioning will be presented and comparisons made between measurements and beam dynamics calculations.
