Description
The initial scientific case for upgrading the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab (JLab) to 22 GeV will be presented. The proposed physics program encompasses a large and diverse range of transforamtive investigations centered around the non-perturbative dynamics inherent in hadron structure and the exploration of strongly interacting systems. It builds upon the unique capabilities of CEBAF high-luminosity operations, the availability of existing or planned Hall equipment, and recent advancements in accelerator technology. Highlights and some key measurements will be discussed, with emphasis on the significant physics outcomes and unique aspects of these programs that distinguish them from other existing or planned facilities.
