Abstract
The radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac structure is being developed for the acceleration of low-velocity ions. Recent experimental tests have confirmed its expected performance and have led to an increased interest in a wide range of possible applications. We review the general properties of RFQ accelerators and present beam dynamics simulation results for their use in a variety of accelerating systems. These include the low-beta sections of the Fusion Materials Irradiation Test Accelerator, a 200-MHz proton linear accelerator, and a xenon accelerator for heavy ion fusion.
Work performed under the auspices of the US Department of Energy, Office of Energy Research, Office of Fusion Energy, and the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, National Cancer Institute.
