description

An overview of the Mainz Microtron MAMI is given. The main goal is to study the low-energy structure of hadrons. Typical examples are measurements of nucleon form factors, the polarizability of nucleons and pions and the detailed study of the excitation spectrum of nucleons. At present, an energy upgrade to 1.5 GeV (MAMI C) is close to completion. The status of the new accelerator section (HDSM) and experimental setups are briefly described and an outlook to the planned physics program is given.
