1. WP4: Applications of Accelerators AccApplic Marco Cavenago (LNL), Rob Edgecock (Huddersfield & STFC) Alessandra Lombardi (CERN) Hywel Owen (Manchester) Marco Schippers (PSI)  Accelerator applications  WP structure  Aims and objectives  Kick-off meeting: 08:30 Friday 14 th, Council Chamber; all welcome  Next steps EuCARD-2 is co-funded by the partners and the European Commission under Capacities 7th Framework Programme, Grant Agreement 312453

2. Applications  >30000 accelerators already in use around the World  Annual sales: >$3.5B  Annual product, etc, sales: >$0.5T  Many existing applications or under development See, for example, “Accelerators for America’s Future” Ken Peach’s talk from Tuesday

4. Structure  Based on technology, rather than applications  5 tasks: Task numberTaskCoordinatorInstitute 1Coordination and communicationR.EdgecockHUD 2Low energy accelerators Marco CavenagoINFN Legnaro 3Intermediate energy proton and ion accelerators Marco SchippersPSI 4High power proton and ion acceleratorsAlessandra LombardiCERN 5High power targetsHywel OwenUMAN  Partners, so far: - 42 (10 in EuCARD2, 32 not) - 10 “users” (industry, hospital, etc)  More welcome: specific users invited to workshops, etc

5. 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

6. 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 Summary:
