A report on the status, the operational experience and the future perspectives of the superconducting Darmstadt electron linear accelerator (S-DALINAC) one of the pioneering superconducting electron accelerators will be presented. The S-DALINAC is an S-Band cw recirculating machine with a maximum energy of 130 MeV. Acceleration of the 250 keV electron beam from the gun and a preacceleration tube is achieved by a =0.85, 2-cell capture section followed by a =1, 5-cell and ten 20-cell cavities. Unloaded Q values of all twelve superconducting Niobium cavities presently range from 8 10 to 2 10, while all gradients exceed 5 MV/m, some cavities reach 10 MV/m. Besides being an R&D project itself the S-DALINAC has produced since commissioning some 11000 hours of beam time for an ambitious experimental program in nuclear and radiation physics. Electron beams variable in energy from 3 to 120 MeV with currents up to 60 A, an energy spread of 2:5 10 4 and an emittance of n = 2 mmmrad are employed routinely. Lately, numerous new beam diagnostics stations have been installed using transition radiation to determine the transverse and longitudinalbeam parameters. Recently, the electron bunch length was determined as 4 ps with a charge of 4 pC per bunch at 10 MHz repetition rate. The S-DALINAC is also the driver of a Free Electron Laser (FEL) in the near IR. After spontaneous emission has already been observed the demonstration of stimulated emission is soon expected.
