A short RFQ prototype was built for tests of high power RFQ structures. We will study thermal effects and determine critical points of the design. Simulations with CST Microwave Studio and first measurements were done. First results and the status of the project will be presented.

The superconducting CH-cavity is the first multi-cell drift tube cavity for the low and medium energy range of proton and ion linacs. A 19 cell, beta=0.1 cavity has been developed and tested successfully with gradients of up to 7 MV/m. A piezo based fast tuner system has been developped. First horizontal tests of the cavity in a cryo-module with tuner are presented. Additionally, the construction of a new superconducting 325 MHz 7-gap CH-cavity has started. This cavity has an optimized geometry with respect to tuning possibilities, high power RF coupling and minimized end cell lengths. After low power tests it is planned to test this cavity with a 11.4 MeV/u beam delivered by the Unilac at GSI.
