This plan shows the Jefferson Lab walking trail. As you use it, please remember that it was constructed on a bare-bones budget. There are no frills. It is yours to enjoy ... we hope everybody will help keep it clean.

Light travels at 186,000 miles per SECOND!
At nearly the speed of light, CEBAF's electron beam orbits the 7/8 mile track 5 times in about 22 millionths of a second.
How far would it go in one second?
FAR!!
In one second, CEBAF's electron beam would circle the earth 7 1/2 times!!
-
Jefferson Lab's electron beam will be aimed at targets like hydrogen, carbon, gold, and lead. What happens when the beam hits a target?
The particles scatter. Scientists will study the speed, direction and energy of the particles scattered to learn more about how the nucleus is put together.
-
Superconductivity allows electricity to flow through a conductor without resistance. At CEBAF this is achieved by cooling the niobium cavities in the accelerator to -456oF.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR CEBAF?
Well, using superconducting technology, CEBAF requires an average of 20 megawatts of power to operate. That's enough power for 16,000 homes.
If CEBAF were NOT SUPERCONDUCTING, it would require 60 megawatts, enough power for 48,000 homes!!!
AND, without superconducting technology, CEBAF's performance would be greatly reduced.
