6. The Radio Frequency Quadrupole 50

The Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) At low proton (or ion) energies, space charge defocusing is high and quadrupole focusing is not very effective effective, cell length becomes small → conventional accelerating structures (Drift Tube Linac) are very inefficient → use a (relatively) new structure, the Radio Frequency Quadrupole. RFQ = Electric quadrupole focusing channel + bunching + acceleration 51
