Mainz Projects

A1@MAMI

The Mainz A1 spectrometers

Prof. Bernauer has a long history working with the A1 collaboration at Mainz. The high quality polarized electron beam, combined with three high-precision general purpose spectrometers, allows for a competitive and flexible physics program covering a wide range of physics. Prof. Bernauer and Dr. Cline both routinely go take shifts in different experiments with the A1 group. Currently the group is helping analyze data from a recent electron-proton scattering measurement, which is a test run for a future proton radius measurement using a gas jet target.

MAGIX@MESA

MESA is the new accelerator currently under construction in Mainz. It is a energy recovering linac design and will deliver 1 mA of beam current.

The MAGIX experiment is a versatile fixed target experiment, designed to perform a rich physics program including high luminosity searches for rare events and precision measurement of nuclear observables in the range between a few MeV and about 100 MeV, exploiting the intense electron beam of the MESA accelerator.
