Abstract	Intrabeam scattering (IBS) dilutes the emittance of low energy, low emittance rings. Because CesrTA can be operated at low energies with low transverse emittances and high bunch intensity, it is well-suited for the study of IBS. Furthermore, CesrTA is instrumented for accurate beam size measurements in all three dimensions, providing the possibility of a complete determination of the intensity dependence of emittances. Measurements from dedicated IBS machine studies at different emittances, intensities, and species are presented. A model based on analytic IBS theories is developed and compared to the data.
