  This work will present the design of the ESS-Bilbao LINAC RFQ cold model. The process goes through the electromagnetic design of the cavity by properly setting the resonant quadrupole and dipole modes, as well as the resonance frequency. The prototype includes the vane modulation designed to accelerate a 75 mA proton beam from 75 keV to 3 MeV, with an operating frequency of 352.2 MHz. To this end, electromagnetic and electrostatic simulations have been performed by means of the commercial software COMSOL. Furthemore, results for the three components of the electrical field distribution will be presented and compared to those calculated by evaluating the 8-term multipole expansion.

  The first stage of the ESS-Bilbao LINAC will accelerate H+ and H− high current beams up to 50 MeV for different applications. After the last acceleration step in the DTL, the beam will either be transported to the experimental laboratories by the means of several transfer lines, or continue to a further acceleration step in spoke cavities. The first design of one of the quadrupoles that focus the beam along the transfer lines is presented. The quadrupoles will have an aperture of 63 mm and 20 T/m maximum gradient, featuring a short iron yoke of 100 mm. All the quadrupoles of the transfer lines are expected to be similar in order to simplify the design and manufacturing processes. The iron yoke is small and highly saturated, and an optimization of the 3D harmonics in the load-line is developed to fulfil the field quality specifications. The required current density is high (about 8.2 A/mm2), therefore a water cooled hollow conductor is used to cool down the coils. The cooling and power supply requirements are calculated in this paper. The most important manufacturing indications are also presented.
