Soreq Nuclear Research Center (SNRC) and CEA collaborate for the upgrade of the existing Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) accelerator up to 5mA Continuous Wave (CW) 40 MeV deuteron and proton beams (Phase 2). SNRC is upgrading the injector: the ion source, the low energy beam transport line and the 4-rods Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). CEA is in charge of the development and commissioning of the medium energy beam transport line and the superconducting linac. This paper presents the status of the SARAF linac development by CEA and the installation and testing of a new set of rods electrodes in the SARAF RFQ.
