IPN Orsay is strongly involved within the EURISOL and EUROTRANS projects, especially collaborating to the overall design of their linac architecture. Since a few years, main part of the R&D work is dedicated to the development of superconducting spoke cavities and their associated components (RF coupler, tuning system horizontal cryomodule, etc.).Following the very promising results obtained with our first single-spoke prototype (2-gap, 352 MHz, beta 0.35), a new prototype has been designed and fabricated (2-gap, 352 MHz, beta 0.15) in order to be integrated in a future linac. The mechanical and RF tests, done on this prototype, are presented. Then, an overview of the latest beam dynamics calculations performed to design a linac using spoke cavities will be described.
