A new reaccelerator facility ReA3 is currently under construction for National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU). As part of that project a new 3.5 m long 4-rod Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) has been build. This RFQ accelerates ions with a Q/A ratio of 0.2 up to 0.5 from an input energy of 12 keV/u to the final energy of 600 keV/u. We have designed the 80.5 MHz-RFQ with a square cavity cross section. It was build and tuned in Frankfurt and has been delivered to MSU. The design and the tuning process of the ReA3-RFQ will be discribed in this paper. |
