A RFQ resonator is presently being developed at SUNY. This resonator is a prototype for a chain of six short ({approximately}0.5m long), superconducting (Pb plated Cu), 50 MHz resonators designed to accelerate beam from {beta} = 0.01 to 0.05. The chain accepts a prebunched beam to save on superconducting length. The resonators are of four-rods type with vane-like electrodes. The prototype resonator is designed to accelerate ions of q/A = 1/6 from {beta} = 0.030 to 0.036, operating at a peak surface electric field of 16 MV/m. The electrodes have a rather high modulation parameter of 4 and a wide aperture of 1.57 cm radius. These values are chosen to maximize the accelerating field (E{sub a}) for a given peak surface electric field (E{sub s}). At the design value of E{sub s} = 16 MV/m, the resonator is estimated to have E{sub a} = 2.0 MV/m, stored energy of 4 J, peak surface magnetic field of 360 Gauss, and inter-vane voltage of 0.42 MV. Results of RF tests on this prototype resonator will be presented. 7 refs., 3 figs.
