  The SPIRAL2 88 MHz CW RFQ is designed to accelerate light and heavy ions with A/Q from 1 to 3 at 0.73 MeV/A. The nominal beam intensities are up to 5 mA CW for both proton and deuteron beams and up to 1 mA CW for heavier ions. The design foresees almost 100% transmission for all ions at nominal beam current and emittance. Beam commissioning of the RFQ and linac cool down started already. The specifications have been achieved within the measurement precision for the different ions accelerated yet. This paper describes the beam commissioning strategy, the measurement results in both transverse and longitudinal planes and the success-fully first cryogenic tests of the linac.

  The SPIRAL2 RFQ is designed to accelerate light and heavy ions with A/Q from 1 to 3 at 0.73 MeV/A. The nominal beam intensities are up to 5 mA CW for both proton and deuteron beams and up to 1 mA CW for heavier ions. The four-vane cavity is made with 5 1-meter long sections mechanically assembled, it works at 88 MHz and is powered up to 180 kW CW to achieve the nominal vane voltage of 113.7 kV for A/Q = 3 ions. This paper describes the RF conditioning of the RFQ at GANIL with the setting of its RF systems and cooling system used to tune the cavity resonance frequency.
