Low emittance electron and positron storage rings with an energy of a few GeV are important tools for scientific research. This will be increasingly true in coming years for next generation colliders such as CLIC and ILC, and for light sources as they Approach ultimate storage ring conditions. CesrTA is a machine studies program at Cornell University aimed at better understanding the physics of these machines. In this seminar, I will present two components of this research: 1) intrabeam scattering and 2) longitudinal coupling. Our intrabeam scattering studies have gathered beam size data on single-bunch beams with currents ranging from 10^9 to 10^11 particles/bunch. Our longitudinal coupling studies have investigated crabbing generated by non-zero dispersion in ordinary rf cavities. I will show the results of these experiments and the theory we use to understand them
