Production of 325 MHZ single spoke resonators at FNAL

The High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) project represents the current effort at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to produce an 8-GeV proton linac based on about 400 independently phased superconducting resonators. Eighteen beta= 0.21 single spoke resonators, operating at 325 MHz, comprise the first stage of the linac cold section. We present the production status of the first two of these resonators along with progress on the slow tuning prototyping. In particular, we report on the construction phases, the pre-weld tuning process and the comparison of low power RF measurements with calculations.
