Our six-traversal Microtron Using a Superconducting Linac, MUSL-2, provides 100% duty factor electron beams with energies between 2 and 80 MeV. Five major experimental facilities have been developed to exploit the high duty cycle, including both low and high energy bremsstrahlung facilities, two photon tagging systems, and an electron scattering coincidence facility. The properties of the accelerator and the work in progress to improve its performance are outlined. The capabilities of each experimental area are discussed with examples from recent research projects. Finally, our plans to construct a 750 MeV, 100 ¿A cascade microtron using room-temperature linacs are presented.
