Over the past several decades major advances in accelerators have
resulted from breakthroughs in accelerator science and accelerator
technology. After the introduction of a new accelerator physics
concept or the implementation of a new technology, a leap in
accelerator performance followed. A well-known representation of
these advances is the Livingston chart, which shows an exponential
growth of accelerator performance over the last seven or eight
decades. One of the breakthrough accelerator technologies that
support this exponential growth is superconducting technology.
Recognizing this major technological advance, we dedicate Volume 5
of Reviews of Accelerator Science and Technology (RAST) to
superconducting technology and its applications.Two major
applications are superconducting magnets (SC magnets) and
superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities. SC magnets provide
much higher magnetic field than their room-temperature
counterparts, thus allowing accelerators to reach higher energies
with comparable size as well as much reduced power consumption. SRF
technology allows field energy storage for continuous wave
applications and energy recovery, in addition to the advantage of
tremendous power savings and better particle beam quality. In this
volume, we describe both technologies and their applications. We
also include discussion of the associated R&D in
superconducting materials and the future prospects for these
technologies.
