The study on electromagnetic field of an RFQ

Computer simulations are carried out for calculating the electromagnetic field distribution and frequency in either 2-D coordinates (by SUPERFISH) or 3-D coordinates (by MAFIA), by which the tuners, the end cells, the coupling cells and other components of the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) are designed. The designing principle is that the E-field longitudinal distribution and the local quadrupole cut-off frequency should be kept as constant as possibl
