Download or read book Application of the Rf Quadrupole in Linear Accelerators for Heavy Ion Fusion written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rf quadrupole (RFQ) linac structure is proposed as an alternative to a system composed of a buncher and independently phased cavities in the low-velocity acceleration section. Beam dynamics simulation studies have demonstrated that with the RFQ (1) high transmission and low beam loss are possible, (2) it is possible to use a low voltage 0.25 MV dc injector and still obtain high output beam currents, (3) the current required from the injector is reduced because of the high transmission of the RFQ, and (4) the output emittance appears to be at least comparable to that expected from a buncher and independently phased cavities.
