Design of a Radio Frequency Quadrupole for a Lead ion Beam composed of different Charge states

For the new lase Ion Source, that is a possible candidate for Linac III injection, an RFQ design is under development. Beam tracking with single and multi charge states from the source have been performed. A sensitivity study concerning radio frequency, vane voltage, input beam energy spread, unput beam emittance and beam misalignments has been performed.
