Abstract
We are investigating the performance capabilities of a niobium superco nducting radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator for high-field co ntinuous-wave operation, to provide greater acceleration and stronger focusing of low-velocity ion beams. We present an example of an RFQ to produce radioisotopes for positron-emission tomography (PET), and we report on the mechanical design aspects of a short, superconducting RF Q four-vane prototype structure that will be tested at high fields dur ing the coming year.
