A radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) structure operating at low frequency has been developed for possible use in accelerators for heavy ion fusion or Tokamak plasma heating. The structure uses a series of shunt spiral inductors placed periodically along the electrodes of an electric quadrupole to achieve resonance at the desired frequency. A 1.2-m-long model has been constructed for low-power testing. The model resonates near 12 MHz and has radial dimensions that are reduced by a factor of 15 compared to the commonly used four-vane resonator.
