A CW-compatible, pulsed H− superconducting linac 'PIP-II' is being planned to upgrade Fermilab's injection complex. To validate the concept of the front-end of such a machine, a test accelerator (The PIP-II Injector Test, formerly known as "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 on the installation of the RFQ and the first sections of the MEBT and related mechanical design considerations.

Proton Improvement Plan-II at Fermilab is an 800 MeV superconducting pulsed linac which is also capable of running in CW mode. The high energy section operates from 185 MeV to 800 MeV instigated using 650 MHz elliptical cavities. The low-beta (LB) βG =0.61 portion will accelerate protons from 185 MeV-500 MeV, while the high-beta (HB) βG = 0.92 portion of the linac will acceler-ate from 500 to 800 MeV. The development of both LB and HB cavities is taking place under the umbrella of the Indian Institutions Fermilab Collaboration (IIFC). This paper presents the design methodology adopted for both low-beta and high-beta cavities starting from the RF design yielding mechanical dimensions of the cavity cells and, then moving to the workable dressed cavity design. Designs of end groups (main coupler side and field probe side), helium vessel, coupler, and tuner are the same for both cavities everywhere where it is possible. The design, analysis and integration of dressed cavity are presented in detail.
