The project Anthem, funded within the Next Generation EU initiatives, foresees the realization of an innovative accelerator based BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) facility at Caserta, Italy. The INFN (LNL, Pavia, Napoli, Torino) has in charge the design and construction of the epithermal neutron source, that will assure a flux of 10^9 n/(s cm2) with characteristics suited for deep tumors treatment. The driver is a cw RFQ, able to produce proton beam of 30 mA 5 mA. impinging on a beryllium target. Specific challenges are related to the medical application of the device. In the paper an overview of the project will be given.

The Drift Tube Linac (DTL) for the European Spallation Source (ESS ERIC) will accelerate proton beam up to 62.5mA peak current from 3.62 to 90 MeV. The 5 cavities are now fully installed and tested in the linac tunnel. Moreover, in 2023 DTL1 to DTL4 have been RF conditioned to full power and beam commissioned with max peak current at short pulses. Relevant results of these activities are presented in this paper.
