  The baseline design for the ESS-Bilbao light-ion linear accelerator and neutron source (a facility compliant with the ESS-AB requirements) has been completed and the normal conducting section of the linac (RFQ and DTL) is at present under detailed design and construction. Starting at 50 MeV, it is proposed to follow this section with a superconducting section composed of double and triple spoke cavities grouped in cryomodules of 2 or 3 cavities reaching a maximum energy of 300 MeV. After an initial R&D program on spoke cavities with an aluminum model, detailed electromagnetic and mechanical studies of a beta 0.50, 352MHz, double spoke cavity were performed. The results of the calculations are presented in this paper. It is proposed to continue this development by the construction and test of the niobium cavities prototypes and initiating the study of a cryo-module with two cavities that could be tested with beam at the ESS-Bilbao facility.
