The rf linac ADF is getting underway with a high brightness beam of 50 mA of Xe/sup +1/ at 1.3 MeV already available. The short independently-phased linac cavities are nearing completion and construction of the first Wideroee tank has begun. Because of the stringent current and emittance requirements, realistic computer simulations are needed for initial designs of the ADF as well as for understanding the performance of each section. The experimental measurements will require a new generation of diagnostics which will accurately characterize the beam without altering it or being destroyed by it. The low beta section of the ADF is a challenge, but now appears solvable with the proper mix of simulation and experimental measurements.
