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.
