CEBAF is based on superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. It produces a stream of charged electrons that scientists use to probe the nucleus of the atom. CEBAF was the first large-scale application of SRF technology in the world, and it is the world's most advanced particle accelerator for investigating the quark structure of the atom's nucleus. The CEBAF energy was recently upgraded from 6 GeV to 12 GeV, and an additional experimental area was added to support the highest-energy experiments.
