Description
Jefferson Lab is considering extending the fruitful physics program carried out at 6GeV and 12 GeV electron beam with new infrastructure. A unique positron beam of high intensity and high polarization up to 12 GeV energy will open new opportunities in exclusive reaction channels (DVCS) and precision (two-photon exchange) and BSM physics (Dark Matter searches). Existing detectors upgrade to run at higher luminosity, as well as plans to extend the electron beam energy to 24 GeV are also discussed in a series of workshops supported by the lab leadership and the user community. In this contribution, I will give an overview of the physics opportunity with the upgraded CEBAF at JLab and plans to make it real.
