Abstract: RF superconducting cavities can work in CW mode or long pulse mode. RF superconducting technology is widely used in particle accelerators. The development of RF superconductivity is limited by the material, surface treatment and installation. SRF technology is improved greatly after dozens of years' researches. Lots of techniques and experiences have been accumulated by running superconducting accelerators. In recent years, researches and developments have been carried out for future large scientific project. New cavity shape and superconducting cavities made of large grain niobium are the hot frontiers in SRF field. Energy Recovery Linacs have been developed in recent years. ERLs has many advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, good stability, low radiation level, etc. ERLs are more and more used in advanced light sources and free electron laser facilities.
