  The development and production of radio frequency quadrupoles, which are used
for accelerating low-energy ions to high energies, continues since 1970s. The
development of RFQ design software packages, which can provide ease of use with
a graphical interface, can visualize the behavior of the ion beam inside the
RFQ, and can run on both Unix and Windows platforms, has become inevitable due
to increasing interest around the world. In this context, a new RFQ design
software package, DEMIRCI, has been under development. To meet the user
expectations, a number of new features have been recently added to DEMIRCI.
Apart from being usable via both graphical interface and command line, DEMIRCI
has been enriched with beam dynamics calculations. This new module gives users
the possibility to define and track an input beam and to monitor its behavior
along the RFQ. Additionally, the Windows OS has been added to the list of
supported platforms. Finally, the addition of more realistic 8 term potential
results has been ongoing. This note will summarize the latest developments and
results from DEMIRCI RFQ design software.
