The world has seen three new spallation neutron source facilities become operational over the past decade. Two short-pulse, mercury target, mega-watt class sources – the SNS at ORNL, and the JSNS at JPARC – joined the continuous wave MW source SINQ facility at PSI that is now in its second decade of operation. The other new source now online is the modestly powered but innovative ISIS TS-2 at...

An overview is given of the status and plans for the three currently operating neutrino beam facilities (T2K at JPARC, NUMI and BNB at FNAL). Several proposed facilities (LBNE, CENF, NUSTORM, LBNO, ESSnuSB) are also described.

Radioactive ion beams are a challenge to produce because of their short half-life they have to be produced on-line. In the on-line isotope separation (ISOL), the isotopes are produced by nuclear reactions in a thick target material where the fragments come to rest embedded in the target material. The target container is closely coupled to an ion source, allowing them to be quickly turned into...

Materials irradiation facilities based on accelerators are usually secondary facilities taking profit of accelerators driven by other main application (i.e. spallation sources). As a consequence the measured irradiation effects on the materials can be very different and, in some cases, hardly comparable between them.
Presently, the accelerator-based materials irradiation facilities designed...
