Description

The European accelerator R&D Roadmap for the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (ESPPU) outlines the path towards future large-scale particle physics facilities, involving five R&D panels. Two of them cover technologies: a program for High Field Magnet (HFM) developments, and one on RF systems including RF sources and variants of s.c. and n.c. structures. The other three programs are covering advanced concepts: plasma wakefield acceleration, muon colliders and energy recovery linacs. These concepts have potential advantages over the classical collider concepts, but they are associated with a need for significant R&D as well as with increased complexity. Launched in 2022 the first phase of the roadmap will conclude in 2026. This presentation will motivate the different research topics, describe the progress made in implementing these, the successes achieved and the priority activities proposed, which will form the basis of the future R&D programme.
