A quasiadiabatic nonfocusing transition-energy crossing is proposed for suppressing any nonadiabatic and undesired features in a longitudinally separated function-type accelerator, in which particles are confined by an radio-frequency voltage with an adiabatic reduction of the amplitude and accelerated by a step voltage. This new method has been examined, both theoretically and experimentally.
