Description
A dedicated heavy-ion Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator is currently under development at GSI Darmstadt and IAP Frankfurt for the SIBAF (Superconducting Ion accelerator as BAsis technology for Fusion research) project. From an injection energy of 4 keV/u to a final energy of 300 keV/u, the SIBAF RFQ is designed to accelerate heavy ions with a mass-to-charge ratio of up to 8.5 at 108.408 MHz. Given that the subsequent main linac utilizes superconducting structures, the RFQ must deliver exceptionally high beam quality to minimize losses and ensure stable operation. This paper presents the physics design concepts, beam dynamics optimizations, and comprehensive simulation results for the SIBAF RFQ.
