The use of low- and intermediate-beta superconducting cavities, once confined to low current heavy ion linacs, is steadily increasing in accelerators. The progress in this technology allowed a significant increase in cavity performance during the last 10 years; a large number of resonators, with different geometries, frequencies and gap numbers have been built for a large variety of applications and the development is still going on. The main boost is given by new projects of radioactive beam facilities and high power proton accelerators worldwide. While the advantages of SC resonators, compared with normal conducting structures, are rather well established in high-beta linacs, this is not always the case at low-beta. The choice of the optimum transition beam energy in a linac, where superconducting cavities should replace the room temperature ones, requires a careful evaluation that depends on the linac specifications.
