WP4: Accelerator Applications  First step: review of state of the art – done in most areas  Second step: selection of applications to focus on – on-going o Radioisotope production o Charged particle therapy (gantries) o Boron Neutron Capture Therapy o Linacs for ADS  Third step - further study: - topical workshops - meetings, etc  Outputs: - Collaborations for further work - H2020 proposals - Improved or new applications  We welcome all input to this work Objectives: - look for existing applications that could benefit from accelerators developed for research - look for new applications

Objectives  Task 1: Coordination - Rob Edgecock (Huddersfield & STFC)  Task 2: Low energy accelerators – Marco Cavenago (INFN)  Task 3: Intermediate energy proton and ion accelerators – Marco Schippers & David Meer (PSI)  Task 4: High beam power proton and ion accelerators – Giulia Bellodi (CERN)  Task 5: High beam power targets – Hywel Owen (Manchester)  Website at:  53 partners: - 35 not EuCARD2 partners - 19 industry/users

First workshops  Modern hadron therapy gantry developments – UMAN & PSI - 16 th -17 th January Cockcroft, UK  Accelerators for accelerator driven systems - CERN - 20 th -21 st March CERN - organised jointly with MAX -  Accelerator based neutron production (ABNP2014) - INFN - 14 th -15 th April Legnaro - BNCT, radioisotope production, security, etc -

APAE document Grew out of a symposium in 2009, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, on the uses and needs of accelerators for the discovery science, energy and environment, defense and security, industrial, and medical communities. See the website at:

APAE document  Plan to do the same for Europe Already started in TIARA with Accelerators for Society See: society.org/ society.org/ And IOP in the UK

APAE document  Plan to do the same for Europe  Applications of Particle Accelerators in Europe  Our role will be to enable this, rather than do it  Discussions with partner starting – others welcome!  Process of identifying conveners has started  Planning kick-off meeting  Your help and input are essential to make this work

Conclusions  Accelerator Applications Network: - new to EuCARD2 - has made a good start (we think)  Building on a lot of work already done by others  Aim#1: use RI technology to improve some applications  Via topical workshops, meetings, etc  Aim#2: Applications of Particle Accelerators in Europe document  Via kick-off meeting and further workshops  For further information: - speak to any of task coordinators see
