The development of room temperature Radio Frequency Quadrupole linear accelerator

Room temperature linear accelerators are commonly used in the field of nuclear physics. The main categories include Radio Frequency Quadrupoles (RFQ) and Drift Tube Linac (DTL). Simulation design of room temperature linear accelerators can provide a powerful experimental platform for isotope production, material modification, semiconductor injection and other research, and effectively promote the rapid development of nuclear science and other related disciplines. This article identify different kinds of room temperature linear accelerators, for instance, four-vane and four-rod RFQ, IH DTL and CH DTL. Besides, it also identify the accelerators' development status of RFQ. Last but not least, the simulation and design softwares of RFQ are introduced.
