A new additional injector (RILAC2) is constructed at RIKEN Nishina Center in order to enable the independent operation of the RIBF experiments and super-heavy element synthesis. The RILAC2 consists of a 28 GHz superconducting ECR ion source, a low-energy beam transport with a pre-buncher, a four-rod RFQ linac, a rebuncher, three DTL tanks, and strong Q-magnets between the rf resonators for the transverse focusing. Very heavy ions with m/q of 7 such as 136Xe20+ and 238U35+ will be accelerated up to the energy of 680 keV/u in the cw mode and be injected to the RIKEN Ring Cyclotron without charge stripping. The RFQ linac, the last tank of the DTL, and the bunchers have been converted from old ones in order to save the cost. Construction of the RILAC2 started at the end of the fiscal 2008. The RFQ and DTLs will be installed in the AVF cyclotron vault and be tested in March 2010. The ECR ion source and low-energy beam transport will be set on the RILAC2 in 2010 summer, and the first beam will be accelerated in 2010 autumn. We will present the details of the linac part of RILAC2 as well as the progress of construction which includes the result of high power test of resonators.

A new injector RILAC2 for RIKEN RI-Beam Factory is under construction. The three Drift Tube Linac (DTL) cavities, located downstream of an RFQ linac, are designed to operate at a fixed RF frequency of 36.5 MHz, and to accelerate very heavy ions such as 136Xe20+ and 238U35+ from 100 keV/u to 680 keV/u for the injection to the RIKEN Ring Cyclotron. The first two cavities (DTL1 and 2) are newly constructed, and an existing cavity is modified for the last one (DTL3). The structure is based on the quarter-wavelength resonator. The inner diameter ranges from 0.8 to 1.3 m. In order to save the construction cost and space for the equipments, direct coupling scheme has been adopted for the RF amplifier. A capacitive coupler was designed to match the input impedance to 700, which corresponds to the optimum output impedance of a tetrode. Design of the cavities and couplers will be described in detail.
