Abstract

There are many directions which isochronous cyclotrons will take in the future. Some of the directions are very certain such as the use of cyclotrons as booster and/or initial accelerators for heavy ions and their commercial/medical use as neutron sources and sources of radioisotopes. On the other hand, there are several other exciting possibilities such as energy-multiplier rings for existing facilities, including the possibility of multi-ring cyclotrons of the superconducting type for use as kaon factories. Also one of the existing intermediate-energy cyclotrons could be used as an injector for a fast-cycling synchroton in a kaon factory. Some of these possibilities are described.
