Low Velocity Acceleration with the RFQ Linac Structure

Abstract
RFQ linacs are well matched to low particle velocities (ß ~ 1/1000 corresponding to 238 keV U + or 1 keV H+). Designs of both a proton and a heavy ion linac are presented. Especially for acceleration of lighter ions the ion source as well as the target can be advantageously installed nearly on ground potential. Axial and radial acceptances as functions of linac parameters are discussed.
