The considered versatile ESS MEBT is being designed to achieve four main goals: First, to contain a fast chopper and its correspondent beam dump, that could serve in the commissioning as well as in the ramp up phases. A detailed study of the chopper rise time effects on the loss budget will be presented. Second, to serve as a halo scraping section by means of various adjustable blades. Third, to measure the beam phase and profile between the RFQ and the DTL, along with other beam monitors. And finally, to match the RFQ output beam characteristics to the DTL input both transversally and longitudinally. For this purpose a set of eleven quadrupoles is used to match the beam characteristics transversally, combined with three 352.2 MHz CCL type buncher cavities, which are used to adjust the beam in order to fulfil the required longitudinal parameters. A thorough study on the optimal input beam parameters will be discussed. Quadrupole design update will be presented along with new RF measurements over the buncher prototype. Finally, updated results will be presented on the chopper and beam-dump system.

A nose-cone single-gap buncher cavity for the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) has been fully designed, manufactured and measured under low-power conditions at ESS-Bilbao. The main steps of the design process are first reviewed. Second, the cavity is thoroughly measured and characterized by means of an automatic test procedure based on the bead-pull technique. Third, the simulated and measured results obtained for the main figures of merit are compared. Specifically, the results for the resonant frequency, the coupling and quality factors, the electric field profile, the R over Q ratio, the transit time factor and the tuning range are carefully analysed.

The ESS Normal Conducting (NC) linac is composed of an ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport line, a Radio Frequency Quarupole (RFQ), a Medium Energy Beam Transport Line (MEBT) and a Drift Tube Linac (DTL). It creates, bunches and accelerates the proton beam up to 90 MeV before injecting into the superconducting linac which will deliver a 5 MW beam onto the neutron production target. The construction of the NC linac is part of a broad collaboration involving experts of various Labs in Europe. The technical chalenges and the collaboration strategy for the NC linac will be presented.
