Abstract :
Superconducting magnets have enabled the construction of some very large accelerators to explore the structure of matter at the highest energies. Small superconducting accelerators are used in medicine and industry. We review the special demands which accelerators make on superconductor technology, describe the magnets for large and small accelerators and mention some exciting prospects for the future.
