The quadrupole and dipole modes frequencies can be very close in a long four-vane RFQ as structure length increases. This requires extra mode stabilizer design to improve field stability, which may add to system complexity and cost. Therefore, we investigate other four-vane RFQ designs which can have potential advantages and different mode spectrum. These designs are realized by modifying the RFQ ...Show More

Electromagnetic (EM) fields near the beam axis in a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) are very sensitive to dimensional changes especially on vane tip geometries. Due to measurement difficulties, field distribution around the beam axis is generally assumed to be equal to that measured outside of vane gaps in quadrants using a bead-pull technique. If an RFQ structure has any mechanical imperfections...Show More
