Dl. Schrage et al., RADIO-FREQUENCY QUADRUPOLE LINAC FOR THE SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 79(1-4), 1993, pp. 372-377
A 2.5 MeV, 428 MHz radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac has been des
igned and fabricated by the Los Alamos National Laboratory and GAR Ele
ctroforming for the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory. This de
vice is a two segment accelerator fabricated from tellurium-copper (CD
A14500) vane/cavity quadrants which are joined by electroforming. The
structure incorporates an integral vacuum jacket and has no longitudin
al rf or mechanical joints. The SSC RFQ linac is an extension of the d
esign of the 1.0 MeV RFQ which was successfully flown on the BEAR Proj
ect.
