[en] I discuss three operating facilities that meet these criteria, namely LAMPF, SIN and TRIUMF. They are mature facilities that have essentially met or exceeded design goals, are now working reliably, and have active, multifaceted research programs in basic and applied physics. While no really major surprises were encountered in their construction and operation to date, much has been learned from the experience with these machines. They represent a great deal of progress in high intensity accelerator science and technology. (orig./HSI)

[en] At present there are several proposals of the magnet lattices suitable for the standard and monochromatization regimes for tau-charm factory. In this paper the main features of the design using versatile lattice are discussed. The beam and machine parameters and a short description of some factory systems are presented to illustrate the design feasibility

[en] After reviewing the physics motivation for Super B factories, I briefly describe the status and plans for the KEK Super B Factory

[en] A brief synopsis is presented of the research potential of intermediate energy hadron facilities. Possible scenarios are discussed for possible new facilities with emphasis on the North American scene. copyright 1995 American Institute of Physics

[en] This paper discusses results on rare decays of the pion and muon obtained at meson factories

[en] The second generation B-factory project at KEK, Belle II/SuperKEKB, to explore new physics at the precision frontier, is now under construction. In this paper, the present status of SuperKEKB accelerator components as well as the Belle II detector upgrade is described

[en] The strategy adopted in designing the DAΦNE Interaction Regions is presented, and the basic theory for the novel compensation scheme of the high field detector solenoid is discussed. A preliminary mechanical design is also illustrated

[en] The authors describe the present status of the PEP-II asymmetric B factory design undertaken by SLAC, LBL, and LLNL. Design optimization and changes from the original CDR are described. R ampersand D activities have focused primarily on the key technology areas of vacuum, RF, and feedback system design. Recent progress in these areas is described. The R ampersand D results have verified their design assumptions and provide further confidence in the design of PEP-II

[en] Main results of theoretical and experimental studies of the accelerating structure and preliminary results of high power tests of full-scale experimental cavity are presented

[en] The KAON factory project and the current status are briefly described. Typical rare decay and CP violation experiments and their physics are discussed. (Author) 20 refs., 4 figs
