11 Ongoing Applications

11.1 Overview

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. Accordingly, this chapter will discuss the status of major ongoing applications for both high-beta and low-beta accelerators. The updates naturally capture the state of the art for SRF performance for the corresponding accelerator structures as of January 2022 TESLA Technology Collaboration Meeting. No doubt progress will continue to be reported in subsequent conferences. The following Chapter 12 will summarize plans for far-future accelerator projects.

As evidenced by the wide range, SRF ...
