Experiences with the Fermilab HINS 325 MHz RFQ

The Fermilab High Intensity Neutrino Source program has built and commissioned a pulsed 325 MHz RFQ. The RFQ has successfully accelerated a proton beam at the RFQ design RF power. Experiences encountered during RFQ conditioning, including the symptoms and cause of a run-away detuning problem, and the first beam results are first reported.
