Abstract :
Superconducting cyclotrons give promise of being exceptionally cost-effective heavy-ion accelerators, both as stand alone devices and as energy boosters. There are well advanced projects at Chalk River and Michigan State University as well as proposals for such cyclotrons from several other laboratories. Some of the properties of high-field saturated-iron cyclotrons are discussed and the current status and recent results from several of the projects are reported.
