  The intensity frontier research is an important part of modern elementary particle physics. It uses proton beams to create secondary beams consisting of, but not necessary limited to, neutrinos, muons, kaons and neutrons. Deferent experiments require different time structure of proton beams but all of them require the beam power of about or exceeding 1 MW. In addition, powerful proton linacs can find an application in accelerator driven nuclear reactors and transmutation of radioactive waste. Recent advances in the superconducting RF technology make a multi-MW power level economically acceptable. This paper discusses main physics and technical limitations determining ultimate parameters of such accelerators, their structure and performance.

  PXIE is the integrated systems test for the Project X frontend. It is expected to accelerate 1-2 mA CW beam up to 30 MeV. The major goal of the project is a validation of the Project X concept and elimination of technical risks. It is expected to be constructed in the period of 2012-2016. In presentation the conceptual design of the experimental test facility, lattice and beam dynamics studies will be discussed in details.

  A new 150 MeV electron storage ring is planned to be build in Fermilab. The construction of new machine pursues two goals a test of highly non-linear integrable optics and a test of optical stochastic cooling (OSC). This paper discusses details of OSC arrangements and choice of major parameters of the cooling scheme. At the first step the cooling will be achieved without optical amplifier. It should introduce the damping rates of about 1 order of magnitudes higher than the cooling rates due to synchrotron radiation. Similar scheme looks as a promising technique for the LHC luminosity upgrade. Its details are also discussed.
