Structure

Based on technology, rather than applications 5 tasks:

Task number Task Coordinator Institute

1 Coordination and communication R.Edgecock HUD

2 Low energy accelerators Marco Cavenago INFN Legnaro

3 Intermediate energy proton and ion accelerators

Marco Schippers PSI

4 High power proton and ion accelerators Alessandra Lombardi CERN

5 High power targets Hywel Owen UMAN

Partners, so far: - 42 (10 in EuCARD2, 32 not)

- 10 “users” (industry, hospital, etc) More welcome: specific users invited to workshops, etc

Objectives Task 1: Coordination

- coordinate, monitor progress, manage budget & obligations

Task 2: Low energy accelerators- Catalogue existing applications and technologies

- Select applications to focus on- Study use of RI technology

- Identify new applications

Task 3: Intermediate energy proton and ion accelerators- Applications of proton and ion accelerators 10

MeV to 1 GeV - Select and study use of RI technology- Study new applications

Task 4: High beam power proton and ion accelerators- Requirements for, mainly, ADS

- Study use of RI technology Task 5: High beam power targets

- Catalogue target requirements for above and others- Study how requirements can be met

- List required R&D to verify requirements can be met

Objectives

First step: review of state of the art – just starting Second step: selection of applications to focus on

- only those where we can have an impact Third step - further study:

- topical workshops- meetings, etc

Third step’ – look at new applications Focus on complete accelerators Outputs:

- “Accelerators for Europe’s Future”?- Collaborations for further work

- H2020 proposals- Improved or new applications

We welcome all input to this work
