The electrodes for the Proof-of-Prlnclple (pOP) Radio-Frequency Quadruple (RFIJ)accelerator were machined on a numerically controlled, three-axis, vertical mill. These pole tips, or vanes, were prepared for, and used, in the successful demonstration of RFQ practicality at Log Alamos National Laboratory In February, 1980. The data set that described the vanes contained about 10mlllion bits of tool position data. The vanes werecut from OFHC copper blanks. The tolerances achieved were approxi-mately+ 0.005 cm. The design and manufacturing procedures-are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
