The Fermilab RFQ Project

A 200 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) Linac is being designed and constructed for the acceleration of H- ions from 30 keV to 750 keV at a current of 30 mA. The RFQ is being developed as a possible replacement for the Fermilab preaccelerator and as an R and D project to investigate RFQ properties for future accelerators. The current status of the project is described.
