Status of the Front End Test Stand Radio Frequency Quadrupole Ajit Kurup UK Neutrino Factory Meeting 7th September 2005
Introduction • Status of electromagnetic simulations using MAFIA, Superfish and Microwave Studio for a 324MHz RFQ. • 4 vane simulations with MAFIA, SF and MWS. • 4 rod simulations with MWS. • q-value calculations and surface current/power density plots. • Pete Savage has been looking at engineering models and manufacturing tests.

Conclusions and Future Plans • Reasonable agreement between MAFIA, SF and MWS. • Estimated relative error of 0.75% should easily be within tuning capability • Plan • Do rod manufacturing tests. • Build cold models to test EM simulations • 4 vane scheduled for completion end of this year. • 4 rod scheduled for completion end of spring next year.
