  The 352.21 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) for the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) has been delivered by the end of 2019 by CEA/IRFU. The RFQ is designed to accelerate a 70 mA proton beam from 75 keV up to 3.62 MeV. It consists of a 4-vane resonant cavity with a total length of 4.6 m. Two coaxial power loop couplers feed the RFQ with the 1.4 MW of RF power required for beam operation. This paper first presents the main systems required for the RFQ conditioning. Then it summarizes the main steps and results of this high power RF conditioning completed at ESS from June 9 to July 29, 2021 in order to achieve the nominal field for a pulse length of 3.2ms at the repetition rate of 14Hz.

  The construction of the ESS accelerator is in full swing. Many key components have been delivered from our in-kind partners and installation, testing and commissioning is making remarkable progress. The first machine section to be commissioned with beam is the Normal Conducting Linac (NCL). When completed, a 14 Hz, 2.86 ms proton beam up to 62.5 mA will be transported from the Ion Source, through the Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line, the Radiofrequency Quadrupole (RFQ), the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line and the five Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tanks up to 90 MeV where it will be injected in the first superconducting module of the machine. This paper will highlight recent progress across the NCL, present briefly the first commissioning results and discuss the upcoming phases as well as challenges in delivering a machine capable of meeting the requirements for a next generation spallation neutron facility.

  The Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) of the European Spallation Source (ESS), operates at 352.21 MHz with an RF pulse length of 3.2 ms and repetition rate of 14 Hz. The RFQ focuses, bunches and accelerates the 62.5 mA proton beam from 75 keV up to 3.6 MeV. In an effort to study and compare the results from 3D electromagnetic codes, different models of the RFQ were simulated with CST Studio suite. This paper presents the selection of optimal parameters for simulation of the RFQ cavity voltage and comparison of the results with the RFQ design code Toutatis.

  The European Spallation Source-ESS, which is currently under construction and commissioning at Lund, Sweden is a neutron source that consists of a 2 GeV linear accelerator (LINAC) accelerating a proton beam to a solid Tungsten (W) target. The proton beam is produced by the Ion Source (ISRC) and transported through the Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) to the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) that will then focus, bunch and accelerate it to 3.6 MeV. The RFQ beam commissioning started in October 2021, following the RF conditioning phase in summer 2021. This current work presents an experimental modal analysis performed on RFQ including the comparative analysis with the modal finite element simulation using the ANSYS software suite. Measurements were performed using accelerometer sensors connected to a data acquisition system excited with an impact hammer. Geophones were used in parallel to the modal measurements in order to monitor the seismic background of the accelerator tunnel. Acquired data were post-processed and analysed with dedicated software, juxtaposed with simulated results in order to determine the resonance frequencies, structural deformation patterns (mode shapes) and error margin between experimental and simulated results.
