Finalized design of the SSC RFQ-DTL matching section

The RFQ-DTL matching section has four variable field quadrupole magnets in a FODO lattice to match the 2.5-MeV, 27-mA, H/sup -/ beam from the RFQ to the acceptance space of the DTL, as well as to provide beam steering. In addition, there are two rf buncher cavities to provide longitudinal phase space tuning. An ensemble of beam diagnostics including input and output beam current toroids and beam position monitors, a wire scanner for beam profile measurements, a slit and collector device for beam emittance measurements, and a Faraday cup is used to quantify the matching section performance. The finalized design of the major components of the RFQ-DTL matching section is presented as well as the status of its construction.<
