Abstract
A new approach to the longitudinal vane modulation profile in a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) has been discovered that significantly improves bunching and longitudinal emittance control. This procedure has been successfully tested in different RFQ models with satisfactory reduction of the longitudinal emittance; thus, this advanced method can be implemented for any RFQ. Highlights: Advanced longitudinal vane modulation profile that improves bunching and longitudinal emittance control. Vane manipulation to avoid the nonlinear effects of the accelerating field inside the cell. Analysis in the full time-domain. Keywords: Radiofrequency Quadrupoles, Equipartitioning, Beam bunching.
