Description

CEBAF has been providing electron beams for nuclear physics experiments for almost 30 years. Ten years ago, it went through a major upgrade to increase the beam energy from 6 to 12 GeV. This paper summarizes the status of the CEBAF 12 GeV operations. We discuss the performance of the machine, limitations, and performance enhancements. Also, the paper discusses future upgrade plans.
