The upgrade for the ATLAS facility is designed to increase the efficiency and intensity of beams for the user facility*, **. This will be accomplished with a new CW normal conducting RFQ, which will increase both transverse and longitudinal acceptance of the LINAC. This RFQ must operate over a wide range of power levels to accelerate ion species from protons to uranium. The RFQ design is a split coaxial structure and is made of OFE copper. The geometry of the design must be stable during operation. Engineering studies of the design at different RF power levels were conducted to ensure that the geometry requirements were met. Frequency shift analysis was also completed to determine the effects of high power levels. Thermal stress analysis was completed to show that the structure frequency is repeatable.
