Description
The demand for high-power proton beams has steadily increased over the past few decades, with applications ranging from spallation neutron sources to accelerator-driven subcritical reactors. Driven by this remarkable momentum, significant technological developments have been achieved, and several machines are now capable or in the process of delivering beams in the MW range.
In this paper we will be reviewing the global high beam power landscape, including machines that are operational, under construction or in design. We will be focusing on identifying the applications, the technology choices, the development strategy and the key R&D programs essential for pushing the power limits.
