description

The accelerator MAMI (Mainzer Mikrotron) with its excellent beam properties and its duty factor of 100% allows to apply coincidence techniques in intermediate energy nuclear physics, which has led to a variety of results with high precision. The real photon collaboration (A2) uses energy tagged bremsstrahlung photons with energies up to 800 MeV. We have results on total photon absorption (proton, deuteron, 3He and U), on Compton scattering (proton, 4He and 12C) and on meson production, especially on π°- and η-photoproduction. Double pion production on the proton and the deuteron was measured. The two and three body breakup of 3He was investigated as well as the reactions (γ,NN) and (γ, π ± N) on complex nuclei, etc. Some results are shown and discussed.
