Abstract An energy loss system was constructed for the electron scattering facility at the Mainz 300 MeV linear accelerator with the aim of improving the energy resolution and increasing the useful beam current. The main features of the design are: (1) the existing system (conventional mode) is kept in full operation, (2) for the energy loss mode, the electron beam is deflected vertically downwards and then returned to the original beam line by the dispersion matching system, consisting of three dipole magnets and one quadrupole magnet, (3) the dispersion of the beam on the target can be tuned to the dispersion of the spectrometer with the aid of the quadrupole magnet. With the installation of the new system, electron scattering experiments can be performed with an overall resolution of 3 × 10 −4 and with an average current up to 25 μA.
