We are investigating the performance capabilities of a niobium, superconducting, radiofrequency-quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator for high- field continuous-wave operation, to provide greater acceleration and stronger focusing of low-velocity ion beams. We present the results of our RFQ beam-dynamics studies, which test new design methods for increasing the beam transmission, our cavity-design calculations, and some mechanical-design aspects of a short, superconducting RFQ 4-vane prototype structure that will be tested at high fields during the coming year.
