Description
The CLIC study has developed compact, high-gradient, and energy efficient acceleration units as foundational components for a future high-energy electron linear collider. Broader research initiatives have also deepened the understanding of accelerating structure breakdown phenomena, unlocking reliable operation of high-gradient structures across a range of frequency bands. With the CLIC R&D strategy actively promoting and supporting spin-off developments, including the industrialisation of relevant technologies, CERN has engaged in multiple projects aimed at implementing these advancements into electron linacs across a diverse range of applications. This presentation will provide an update on ongoing activities at CERN, including developments in electron-driven neutron sources, conventional and FLASH radiotherapy, food irradiation, and inverse Compton scattering sources
