Abstract :
It is noted that the radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator has come of age over the past ten years, supplanting the 0.5-1-MV DC injectors that used to be common to drift-tube linacs and easing the requirements on the first DTL tank. The possibilities of the RFQ, combined with recently demonstrated beamline funnels for combining beams, open up a new range of frequency/current parameter space to accelerator designers. Requirements being placed on RFQs for high-current high-duty-factor applications are discussed and compared with achievements to date. An overview of new CW (continuous-wave) RFQ accelerators and proposals is included. Work at Los Alamos, Chalk River, Grumman/Argonne, and the USSR Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics is briefly reviewed.<>
