Description
The upcoming Mainz Energy-Recovery Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) facility at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz will use cutting-edge accelerator technology to facilitate a range of precision electron-scattering experiments. In energy-recovery mode, MESA will generate high intensity electron beams incident on windowless gas targets, allowing clean measurements using the multipurpose MAGIX spectrometers. In extracted beam mode, the P2 experiment will use polarized electrons beams to perform high-precision measurements of parity-violating asymmetries. This talk will summarize the physics goals of MESA, with an emphasis on MAGIX and P2.
