TL;DR: The SwissFEL X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility as discussed by the authors started construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen, Switzerland) in 2013 and will be ready to accept its first users in 2018 on the Aramis hard Xray branch.

TL;DR: The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a multi-teV high-luminosity linear e+e-collider under development as discussed by the authors, which is foreseen to be built and operated in a staged approach with three center-of-mass energy stages ranging from a few hundred GeV up to 3 TeV.

TL;DR: The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) as mentioned in this paper is a TeV-scale high-luminosity linear $e+e^-$ collider under development at CERN, which uses a two-beam acceleration scheme, in which 12 GHz accelerating structures are powered via a high-current drive beam.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the accelerators used and planned for this purpose are reviewed starting from the cyclotrons used in the thirties, and the latest developments concern a superconducting cyclotron for carbon ion therapy, fast-cycling high frequency linacs and single room proton therapy facilities.

TL;DR: In this article, an ion acceleration system or complex for medical and/or other applications is composed in essence by an ion source, a pre-accelerator, and one or more linear accelerators or linacs.
