Summary
Summary Operating ERLs continue to reach higher performance and to serve as test-beds for accelerator science and technology development. The operation, performance, and R&D carried out in the existing ERLs provides invaluable guidance to the ERL field in general. Future applications of ERLs envisage more that an order of magnitude increase in beam current and two orders of magnitude in electron beam power. Prototyping is essential and the first extrapolation of performance of critical R&D is on the horizon (100 ma class machine!) The interest in using ERLs is worldwide and expanding What next? 47
