The Experimental Program of the MAMI-Project

subject

description

At Mainz university, a 100% duty-factor electron accelerator for beam current and energy up to 100 µA and 855 MeV,respectively, has become operational recently, the Mainz Microtron MAMI. The experimental program is based on three major equipments which are built up and will be run by three facility-oriented collaborations. Collaboration A1 is centered around a magnetic spectrometer setup and will do experiments with virtual photons. For experiments with real photons collaboration A2 runs a high-efficiency tagger. Collaboration A3 sets up a polarized electron source in order to exploit the polarization degrees of freedom.
