Measurements have been made of the transport of beams produced by the high current ion source, MEVVA, and of the injection of these beams into the GSI heavy ion RFQ linac. This configuration has provided initial tests of the MEVVA ion source in an injector environment, and of the RFQ with uranium as the accelerated species. Beam currents of 78 mA of titanium and 19 mA of uranium, at an extraction voltage of 40 kV, have been transported through a 4.7 m long beam transport channel, and up to 40 mA of uranium has been transported through a single-gap accelerating column at a voltage of about 150 kV. A current of up to 5 mA of UT has been measured at the exit detector of the RFQ.
