Abstract :
This paper describes the design and implementation of a beam loss accounting system for the CEBAF electron accelerator. This system samples the beam current throughout the beam path and measures the beam current accurately. Personnel safety and machine protection systems use this system to turn off the beam when hazardous beam losses occur
