Abstract
It is believed that a compelling case can be made for the construction of a very high Hadron Research Facility in Australia. Several proposals have been prepared in the past. In all cases, the accelerator on which the facility was based would have had the capability of producing highly precise and controlled proton beams with variable energies between 60 and 250 MeV. One of the previous proposals also suggested a more advanced accelerator system capable of producing, in addition, carbon beams with energies variable from 120 - 430 MeV/amu. This paper considers some options for a possible Australian Facility.
