الوصف: This whitepaper summarizes and the state of the field of high-power cyclotrons and FFAs as discussed by international experts during a three-day workshop of the same name. The workshop was held online from Sep 7 to Sep 9, 2021 as part of the US Snowmass'21 Community Exercise, specifically the Accelerator Frontier (AF) and the subpanel Accelerators for Neutrinos (AF02). Thus, we put emphasis on the application of high-power cyclotrons in particle physics, specifically neutrino physics, and as drivers for muon production. In the introduction, we discuss the role of cyclotrons for particle physics, and later we highlight existing and planned experiments in the corresponding sections. However, as these same accelerators have important applications in the fields of isotope production - both for research and medicine - and possibly even in energy research, by providing beam to demonstrator experiments in the areas of Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS), we include these far-reaching topics to provide a full picture of the status and applications of high-power cyclotrons. Furthermore, Fixed Field Alternating Gradient accelerators (FFAs) have recently seen renewed interest. They are in many respects (basic operating principles) similar to cyclotrons and have thus been included in this workshop and whitepaper as well. We are discussing current projects and whether FFAs have the prospect of becoming high-intensity machines.
