Die vorliegende Dissertation stellt die Strahldynamikdesigns zweier Hochfrequenzquadrupol-Linearbeschleuniger bzw. Radio Frequency Quadrupoles (RFQs) vor: das fur den RFQ des Protonen-Linearbeschleunigers (p-Linac) des FAIR2-Projekts an der GSI3 Darmstadt sowie einen ersten Designentwurf für einen kompakten RFQ, der u.a. zur Erzeugung von Radioisotopen für medizinische Zwecke genutzt werden könnte. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem ersten Design.
Based on the positive results of the 0.63 m unmodulated 325 MHz Ladder-RFQ prototype from 2013 to 2016 [1, 2], a modulated 3.3m Ladder-RFQ (s. Fig. 1) has been designed and built for the acceleration of up to 100 mA protons from 95 keV to 3.0 MeV at the FAIR p-Linac [3, 4]. In this paper, we will show the results of manufacturing as well as low level RF measurements of the Ladder-RFQ including flatness and frequency tuning.
In case of 4-Rod-type RFQ’s the quadrupole electrodes are excited by a series of coupled RF oscillators. As the contact planes between both electrode pairs differ, there remains an oscillating electric potential along the beam axis. This results in remarkably high longitudinal field components between the electrode ends and the RFQ tank end walls. In contrast, the electrodes of a 4-Vane RFQ are equally charged to ±|V0∕2| and only feature a quadrupole on-axis field. The entrance gap fields were investigated to serve as a longitudinal prebuncher instead of causing additional longitudinal emittance growth. The effects of the entrance gap field have been validated in beam dynamics simulations. The exit fields have to be taken into consideration for a calculation of the exact RFQ output energy.
