  • Abstract
    The front end of the 35-MeV Fusion Materials Irradiation Test (FMIT) Facility accelerator is being assembled and installed at Los Alamos. The machine ultimately will produce a 500-kW continuous duty beam at 5 Mev, although only the first 2-MeV will be installed this year. The 2-MeV system will include the most powerful radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) in existence. The assembly and installation of the hardware are described, along with the unique problems arising from the large size and high power of the components involved.
