Kaon factories would provide beams 100-1000 times more intense than those available from present accelerators in the 10-30 GeV range. More intense or cleaner secondary beams of kaons, antiprotons and neutrinos would be of particular interest for high precision experiments and studies of rare processes in both particle and nuclear physics, e.g. symmetry violations in K decay, neutrino scattering, meson and baryon spectroscopy, hypernuclei, exotic atoms, K/sup +/ studies of nuclear density and resonance propagation in nuclei. The various accelerators proposed include both fast cycling synchrotrons providing 100 ..mu..A proton beams at 15 to 32 GeV and superconducting isochronous ring cyclotrons giving 100-400 ..mu..A at up to 15 GeV. This paper describes these designs and the various technical problems associated with them.
