Abstract :
A four-rod radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) was constructed to operate at 473 MHz. Four-rod type structures have not been used for such a high frequency before. The RFQ is designed to accelerate 10 mA of H/sup -/ ions from 30 keV to 0.5 MeV. Low RF power and high RF power measurements of the RFQ have been performed successfully. The design of the RFQ is presented along with the results of tests related to low and high RF power operations such as Q and power measurements, multipactoring problems, sparking problems, vacuum performance, and cooling.<>
