At the previous National Accelerator Conference, the transport of intense ion beams, with particular reference to Heavy Ion Fusion, was analyzed by finding matched solutions of the coupled envelope equations. This work established relations between lattice structure, beam dimensions and space-charge tune depression as a function of intensity. An investigation of the stability of the K-V distribution in transport by a periodic quadrupole system, a generalization of Gluckstern's analysis for a continuous solenoid is reported. The results are presented and compared with simulation computations for a particular case; the results provide a prediction of maximum transportable current without degradation of emittance due to instability.
