The ISAC-II superconducting linac is presently being commissioned. Twenty cavities have been prepared and characterized in single cavity tests before mounting in the on-line cryomodules. The cavities are specified to operate at a challenging peak surface field of 30MV to supply an accelerating voltage of 1.1MV/cavity. The cavity bandwidth of ±20Hz is achieved by overcoupling while a mechanical tuner actively maintains the cavity frequency within this bandwidth. An overview of the rf systems will be given. We will describe the early operating experience and compare the cavity on-line performance with the single cavity characterizations.

Beam dynamics simulations of the SARAF (Soreq Applied Research Accelerator) superconducting RF linear accelerator have bean performed in order to establish the linear accelerator design. The multi-particle simulation includes 3D realistic electromagnetic field distributions, space charge forces and fabrication, misalignment and operation errors. A 4 mA deuteron beam is accelerated up to 40 MeV with a moderated rms emittance growth and a high real-estate acceleration gradient of 2 MeV/m. An envelope of 40,000 macro-particles is kept under a radius of 11 mm, well below the beam pipe bore radius. The accelerator design for SARAF is proposed as an injector for the EURISOL driver accelerator. The basic Accel 176 MHz β0=0.09 and β0=0.15 HWR lattice was extended to 90 MeV based on the LNL 352 MHz β0=0.31 HWR. The matching between both lattices ensures smooth transition and the possibility to extend the accelerator to the required EURISOL ion energy.
