Project X Injector Experiment radio frequency quadrupole has recently been built for Fermilab by Berkley laboratory. This RFQ will be placed after the low energy beam transport (LEBT) and before the medium energy beam transport (MEBT). The RFQ will operate at 162.5 MHz in CW regime; its function is to accelerate and focus particles coming from the LEBT at 30 keV, and to deliver a beam at 2.1 MeV to the MEBT. In order to make sure that the RFQ meets the specifications of field flatness and frequency the field in the vanes should be measured using bead pull technique. FNAL created a new single wire bead pull set up for the RFQ of PXIE. The measurements are used to find the electrical center of the structure, then the amplitude of the electromagnetic field in all the sectors of the RFQ; and the tuning will be based on these measurements. This paper describes the bead pull experimental set up, the software developed for this particular application and the measurements taken.

Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) at Fermilab will utilize 162.5 MHz CW RFQ accelerating cavity. Design of new main power coupler for PXIE RFQ is reported. Two identical couplers are supposed to deliver approximately 100 kW total CW RF power to RFQ. Unique design of the coupler allows providing DC bias for multipactor suppression. Results of RF and thermal simulations along with mechanical design are presented.

A CW-compatible, pulsed H⁻ superconducting linac is envisaged as a possible path for upgrading Fermilab’s injection complex. To validate the concept of the front-end of such machine, a test accelerator (a.k.a. PXIE) is under construction. The warm part of this accelerator comprises a 10 mA DC, 30 keV H⁻ ion source, a 2m-long LEBT, a 2.1 MeV CW RFQ, and a 10-m long MEBT that is capable of creating a large variety of bunch structures. The paper will report commissioning results of a partially assembled LEBT, status of RFQ manufacturing, and describe development of the MEBT, in particular, of elements of its chopping system.
