The microtron accelerator has been chosen as the technology to generate the electron beams required for the research discussed because of the advantages of superior beam quality, low capital and operating costs and capability of furnishing beams of several energies and intensities simultaneously. To meet this need, Argonne National Laboratory proposes to build a CW GeV Electron Microtron (GEM) laboratory as a national user facility. Rising interest in the nuclear physics community in a CW GeV electron accelerator reflects the growing importance of high-resolution short-range nuclear physics to future advances in the field. Although the precise objective for maximum beam energy is still a subject of debate, the design developed in this study provides the base technology for microtron accelerators at higher energies (2 to 6 GeV) using multi-sided = , The accelerator can furnish three beams with independently controlled energy and intensity. A complete technical description of the conceptual design for a 2 GeV double-sided C.W. The microtron accelerator has been chosen as the technology to generate the electron beams required for the research discussed because of the advantages of superior beam quality, low capital and operating cost and capability of furnishing beams of several energies and intensities simultaneously. electron facility are discussed, together with their impact on an understanding of nuclear forces and the structure of nuclear matter. In this report major current problems are reviewed and the details of prospective measurements which could be made with a GeV C.W. electron accelerator reflects the growing importance of high-resolution short-range nuclear physics to future advances in the field.
