Design and application possibilities of superconducting radio-frequency quadrupoles
Abstract
In recent experiments, CW surface electric fields in excess of 100 MV/m have been obtained in a superconducting RF quadrupole (SCRFQ) device. In this paper we explore some design and application possibilities of SCRFQs which have been opened by these results. For example, SCRFQs may be able to accelerate higher CW currents than is now possible. Also, highly-modulated SCRFQs could be designed to provide compact, high-longitudinal-gradient devices. Some conceptual designs and applications will be discussed.
