Benchmarking CEBAF

Particle accelerator scientists have made the measurements, crunched the numbers and consolidated the data on the performance of the brightest electron accelerator for nuclear physics research. In a new study, more than 100 authors have detailed the original and current operating parameters, main systems and subsystems, and capabilities and limits of Jefferson Lab’s main particle accelerator, the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF).
