description

We suggest starting an accelerator physics project called the Mainz Energyrecovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) as an extension to the experimental facilities at the institute for nuclear physics. MESA may allow us to introduce an innovative internal target regime based on the ERL principle. A second mode of operation will be to use an external polarized electron beam for parity violating experiments. Furthermore, MESA could also allow us to establish a CW source of polarized positrons.
