Abstract
Steady advances in SRF performance have enabled, and continue to enable, a large variety of SRF-based accelerators for applications in materials science, nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, and high-energy physics. This chapter discusses Low-beta accelerators for heavy ions for nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, rare isotope beams, and medical isotope production. It deals with a summary of ongoing SRF applications with the expected number of cavities and cryomodules. Superconducting linacs providing precision beams of heavy ions have consistently been one of the most successful SRF applications. Neutrons are a unique in that they interact directly with the nucleus, carry no charge, but do carry spin. Free electron lasers (FELs) are sources of tunable, coherent radiation at wavelengths covering a wide range from mm to UV to X-rays. An ERL-based light source is capable of producing smaller emittance, shorter bunches, and lower energy spread than proposed ultimate storage rings.
