  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 14th, 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

  3. Applications

  4. Structure • Based on technology, rather than applications • 5 tasks: • 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 Summary: • 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

  7. Kick-off Meeting • Tomorrow (Friday 14th June) at 08:30 in Council Chamber – all welcome

  8. Applications

  9. Output from meeting & next steps • First list of workshops, e.g. - Boron Neutron Capture Therapy - Radioisotope production, esp. 99mTc - ADS - Flue gas and water treatment - Target cooling - etc • Updated partners list • Website • Mailing lists

  10. Deliverables

  11. Milestones

  12. Conclusions • Accelerator Applications Network: - new to EuCARD2 - coordinators are new to Networks • Building on a lot of work already done • Main aim: use RI technology to improve some applications • Via topical workshops, meetings, etc • Kick-off meeting tomorrow - all welcome • If you’re interested: - speak to one of us - email: Rob.Edgecock@stfc.ac.uk
