Description

The Frankfurt Neutron Source FRANZ is a compact-accelerator driven neutron source based on the $^7Li(p,n)^7Be$ reaction using a 2 MeV proton beam. Following successful stand-alone RF conditioning of the IH-DTL up to 10 kW cw, the coupled RFQ-IH-DTL cavity was assembled, tuned and conditioned up to 200 kW. First beam experiments have been performed, demonstrating proton acceleration to 2 MeV. We report on the high-power conditioning, coupling and llrf tuning procedure, as well as initial beam commissioning results.
