IAEC/SNRC (Israel) is constructing an accelerator facility, SARAF, for neutron production. It is based on a linac accelerating 5 mA CW deuteron and proton beam up to 40 MeV. As a first phase, IAEC constructed and operated a linac (SARAF Phase I), from which remains an ECR ion source, a Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line and a 4-rod RFQ. Since 2015, IAEC and CEA (France) are collaborating in the second phase, consisting in manufacturing of the linac. The injector control-system has been recently updated and the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line has been installed and integrated to the infrastructure. It has been fully commissioned during the first semester of 2023 for proton and deuteron beams. This paper presents the results of the integration, tests and commissioning of the injector and MEBT.

SNRC and CEA collaborate to the upgrade of the SARAF accelerator to 5 mA CW 40 MeV deuteron and proton beams (Phase 2). CEA is in charge of the design, construction and commissioning of the linac downstream the existing RFQ (SARAF-LINAC Project). The MEBT is now installed at SNRC and has been commissionined with beam. Transverse and longitudinal emittances have been measured and beam transport has been compared with TraceWin simulations. The low-beta HWR and superconducting solenoids have all achieved their design performances on Saclay test-stand. First cryomodule has been assembled and tested at Saclay and is being installed at SNRC. This paper presents the results of the MEBT commissioning, the qualification of the HWR and the solenoids and the test results of the first cryomodule.
