  The Radio Frequency Quadrupole of SANAEM Project Prometheus will be a
demonstration and educational machine which will accelerate protons from 20 keV
to 1.5 MeV. The project is funded by Turkish Atomic Energy Authority and it
will be located at Saraykoy Nuclear Research and Training Center in Ankara. The
SPP beamline consists of a multi-cusp H+ ion source, a Low Energy Beam
Transport line and a four-vane RFQ operating at 352.2 MHz. The design studies
for the multi-cusp ion source (RF or DC) were performed with IBSimu and SIMION
software packages. The source has already been produced and currently undergoes
extensive testing. There is also a preliminary design for the solenoid based
LEBT, POISSON and PATH were used in parallel for the preliminary design. Two
solenoid magnets are produced following this design. The RFQ design was made
using LIDOS.RFQ.Designer and it was crosschecked with a home-grown software
package, DEMIRCI. The initial beam dynamics studies have been performed with
both LIDOS and TOUTATIS. This paper discusses the design of the SPP beamline
focusing on the RFQ beam dynamics.
