	The first tank of Drift Tube Linac (DTL) for the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), delivered by INFN, has been installed in the ESS tunnel in Summer 2021. The DTL-1 is designed to accelerate a 62.5 mA proton beam from 3.62 MeV up to 21 MeV. It consists of 61 accelerating gaps, alternate with 60 drift tubes equipped with Permanent Magnet Quadrupole (PMQ) in a FODO lattice. The remaining drift tubes are equipped with dipole correctors (steerers), beam position monitors (BPMs) or empty. The total length of the cavity is 7.6 m and it is stabilized by post couplers. Two waveguide couplers feed the DTL with the 2.2 MW of RF power required for beam operation, equally divided by RF power losses and beam power. This paper first presents the main systems required for the DTL conditioning. Then it summarizes the main steps and results of this high power RF conditioning done at ESS to prepare the DTL for the consequent beam commissioning.

	The European Spallation Source (ESS) aims to build and commission a 2 MW proton linac ready for neutron production in 2025. The normal conducting section of the ESS linac is designed to accelerate a 62.5 mA proton beam to 90 MeV at 14 Hz. The section consists of a microwave ion source, Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and 5-tank Drift Tube Linac (DTL). All sections are provided to ESS by in-kind partners across Europe. This paper reports the recent progress on the assembly, installation, testing and commissioning of the ESS normal conducting linac.

	The latest beam commissioning phase of the Normal Conducting Linac at ESS delivered a proton beam through the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) into the first Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tank. The probe beam in MEBT consisted of 3.6 MeV protons of <6 mA, <5 microseconds pulse length and 1 Hz repetition rate. Following the delivery of the components at ESS in Lund in June 2019, the commissioning phase with the MEBT was completed in July 2022. In March 2022, the maximum beam current of 62.5 mA was transported up to the MEBT Faraday cup. This proceeding focuses on the status of MEBT including magnets, buncher cavities, scrapers and beam diagnostics designed and tested in collaboration with ESS Bilbao.

	RFQ at ESS has been successfully gone through RF conditioning, RF re-conditioning and low duty cycle beam commissioning. RFQ fulfills required functions and overall performance is satisfactory. RF conditioning, three RF re-conditionings after LEBT intervention and beam commissioning will be reported and RFQ performance during these periods will be described. RFQ performance in a large extent is reflected by dynamics and interactions between RF, cavity and beam. Thanks to advanced hardware capabilities and intelligent software intelligence, observation of those dynamics and interactions are done in detailed level. Analysis of those dynamics and interaction will be introduced. Some techniques to deal with challenges resulted from those dynamics and interactions will also be discussed.

	The mechanism of space charge compensation given by the residual gas ionization is a key factor for the emittance containment in the low energy beam transport (LEBT) lines of high intensity hadron injectors. A typical front end including a microwave Ion source, a LEBT and Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), is equipped with two repellers at each interface to prevent electrons from flowing back, to the source, or forward, to the RFQ. In this paper we will emphasize the importance of the ion Source and LEBT repellers on giving the appropriate boundary conditions for the space-charge compensation building-up mechanism. The theory and simulations are supported by experiments performed in the high intensity facility such as ESS and IFMIF/EVEDA.

	The ESS ion source, developed at INFN-LNS and installed at the ESS facility, is fully working and in operation for the linac beam commissioning. The commissioning of the source was done in Catania and in Lund showing high reproducibility related to the beam diagnostic parameters that can be measured with the subset of equipment currently available in Lund. The analysis of the data collected during the commissioning in Catania discloses the possibility to use a new source configuration named High Stability Microwave Discharge Ion Source (HSMDIS), able to improve beam stability and lower the beam emittance. This paper shows the capability to increase the beam current intensity, with preserving beam stability, by changing only the microwave power. Linearity was tested from 10 to 120 mA to be able to provide the lower values needed for the different phases of the accelerator commissioning and higher values for future accelerator development. The source stability is evaluated through intra-pulse stability and pulse-to-pulse stability. Reference: L. Neri, L.
