The Department of Energy's FY 1997 budget, released today leaves CEBAF's Budgetary outlook for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1996 in good order. One of the highlights of the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Research budget is to sustain the High Energy and Nuclear Physics programs under which CEBAF's effort is directed.

The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) will formalize a partnership with the Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) at 1:30 p.m. January 17, 1996, at CEBAF.
CIT, based in Herndon, VA, will market CEBAF inventions to industry. This will include establishing specific working relationships and programs between CEBAF, industry and CIT to best achieve technology transfer.

The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, the newest national research laboratory, successfully began conducting experiments this week. One hundred scientists from across the globe are collaborating with CEBAF to conduct the first in a series of experiments that are expected to lead to a solution to the ancient puzzle of the fundamental structure of matter.

Twenty-nine high school and middle school physics, physical science, and engineering/technology teachers from four states are participating in the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility's Summer Institute for Teacher Enhancement (SITE).
The four week Institute enables teachers to conduct practical and essential group research on a variety of projects at CEBAF including: Data analysis, construction and operation of safety systems, and control system design.
