Summary
The beam produced by the Fusion Materials Irradiation Test (FMIT) radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerating structure must be matched to the drift-tube linac (DTL) structure that follows. Because minimum beam spill is a primary concern, a matching criterion that considers the beam edges as well as the rms properties is needed. We flared the RFQ's vanes and adjusted the strengths of the first four quadrupoles in the DTL to achieve optimum performance downstream. Numerical methods used to set the quad gradients, and some experience with various matching criteria are described. The match achieved is compared with matches obtained by other methods.
