【 摘 要 】

The planned upgrade of the Jefferson Lab energy to 12 GeV will greatly expand the capability of the facility to make profound contributions to the study of nuclear and nucleon structure, and the strong interaction. In particular, it will allow direct exploration of the quark-gluon structure of hadrons and nuclei, and of quark confinement. The physics potential is illustrated with selected examples. The instrumentation under design to carry out the research program is also presented. The plan for an upgrade beyond 12 GeV is briefly discussed.
