  The IFMIF project aims to produce an intense neutron flux to test and qualify materials suitable for the construction of fusion power plants. We are working on the engineering validation phase of the project, which consists on the construction of a linear accelerator prototype to be installed and commissioned in Rokkasho. The RFQ is composed of 18 modules flanged together for a total length of 9.8m designed to accelerate the 125mA D+ beam to 5MeV at a frequency of 175MHz. The mechanical specifications are very challenging, tight tolerances are required on the machining and on the brazing process. The line is subdivided into 3 Super Modules of 6 modules each. The production of the High Energy portion has been completed and delivered, while the Low Energy one is performing the acceptance test. They were commissioned to external firms. The production of the Intermediate Energy portion has been done in house (INFN) and will be commissioned soon. The 1st modules (16, 17 and 2) were produced adopting 2 brazing steps, while for all the remaining ones we adopted a single brazing step. In this paper the production status and the development of the brazing procedure will be described.

In recent years great interest has been shown in developing rf structures for beam separation, correction of geometrical degradation on luminosity, and diagnostic applications in both lepton and hadron machines. The rf dipole being a very promising one among all of them. The rf dipole has been tested and proven to have attractive properties that include high shunt impedance, low and balance surface fields, absence of lower order modes and far-spaced higher order modes that simplify their damping scheme. As well as to be a compact and versatile design in a considerable range of frequencies, its fairly simple geometry dependency is suitable both for fabrication and surface treatment. The rf dipole geometry can also be optimized for lowering multipacting risk and multipole tailoring to meet machine specific field uniformity tolerances. In the present work a survey of field uniformities, and multipole contents for a set of 750 MHz rf dipole designs is presented as both a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the inherent flexibility of the structure and its limitations.
