Abstract: The Frankfurt Neutron Source FRANZ will be a compact accelerator driven neutron source utilizing the 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction with a 2 MeV proton beam. The 700 keV RFQ has been sucessfully commissioned with a 10 mA proton beam. Conditioning of the subsequent IH-type cavity has been performed up to 10 kW. We also report on RFQ emittance measurements performed with a slit grid emittance device. In addition, a fast faraday cup (FFC) was used for bunch shape measurements behind the RFQ.
