An 8-meter-long coupled cavity RFQ linac

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10178634

A model has been constructed of an 8-m-long high energy (7 MeV) Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) to prove the concept of a resonantly coupled RFQ. The model consists of four 2-in-long RFQ segments resonantly coupled together. A small gap (3 mm) between the vane tips, at the segment joints, provides capacitive coupling. This model is of a RFQ designed for a proposed Los Alamos Accelerator Performance Demonstration Facility (APDF). The RFQ, as designed, will operate cw at 350 kHz and accelerate a 100-mA beam of protons to 7 MeV.
