  The PIP-II injector test radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) arrived at Fermilab in the fall of 2015. The RFQ is a 162.5MHz H accelerator with a nominal drive power of 100kW, which produces a bunched H beam at 2.1MeV. In this paper we discuss commissioning, operational performance, and improvements to the low level RF (LLRF) control system for the RFQ. We begin by describing the general system configuration and initial simulation results. We will then highlight temperature related issues in the high power RF system, which necessitate active control over the phase balance of the two amplifiers. Finally we demonstrate performance of the RF feedback and feed-forward compensation needed to meet specification during a 20-microsecond beam pulse.

The low-energy section of the photoinjector-based electron linear accelerator at the Fermilab Accelerator Science & Technology (FAST) facility was recently commissioned to an energy of 50 MeV. This linear accelerator relies primarily upon pulsed SRF acceleration and an optional bunch compressor to produce a stable beam within a large operational regime in terms of bunch charge, total average charge, bunch length, and beam energy. Various instrumentation was used to characterize fundamental properties of the electron beam including the intensity, stability, emittance, and bunch length. While much of this instrumentation was commissioned in a 20 MeV running period prior, some (including a new Martin-Puplett interferometer) was in development or pending installation at that time. All instrumentation has since been recommissioned over the wide operational range of beam energies up to 50 MeV, intensities up to 4 nC/pulse, and bunch structures from ~1 ps to more than 50 ps in length.

The LCLS-II is a CW superconducting linac under construction to drive an X-ray FEL. The energy and timing stability requirements of the FEL drive the need for very high precision RF control. This paper summarize the design considerations and early demonstration of the performance of the components and system we developed.
