  The general goals of the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) project at JINR (Dubna) are providing of colliding beams for experimental studies of both hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The experiments will be performed in collider mode and at fixed target. The first part of the project program requires the collisions of heavy nuclei up to 197Au79+ to be studied. The new heavy ion linac – HILac (Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator) will accelerate ions with q/A – values above 0.16 to 3.2 MeV/u is under manufacturing presently. The main features of HILac are described.

MYRRHA is designed as an accelerator driven system (ADS) for transmutation of long-lived radioactive waste. The challenge of the linac development is the very high reliability of the accelerator to limit the thermal stress inside the reactor. With the concept of parallel redundancy the injector will supply a cw proton beam with 4 mA and 17 MeV to the main linac. The new MYRRHA injector layout consists of a very robust beam dynamics design with low emittance growth rates. Sufficient drift space provides plenty room for diagnostic elements and increases the mountability. Behind a 4-Rod-RFQ and a pair of two-gap QWR rebunchers at 1.5 MeV the protons are matched into the CH cavity section. A focussing triplet between the rebunchers ensures an ideal transversal matching into the doublet lattice. Each of the 7 RT CH structures has a constant phase profile and does not exceed thermal losses of 29 kW/m. The transition to the 5 SC CH cavities with constant beta profile is at 5.9 MeV. For a safe operation of the niobium resonators the electric and magnetic peak fields are defined below 25 MV/m and 57 mT respectively.

  In order to built a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) at 325 MHz for the FAIR proton linac, a 4-rod structure has been investigated. The RF design, especially the dipole and fringe fields and higher order modes, has been studied with simulations. A prototype has been built and power tested to verify the simulation results and investigate the high power performance. This paper summarizes the results of the research concerning the 325 MHz 4-rod RFQ and gives an overview about the next steps in this project.
