The Mesa accelerator — •Kurt Aulenbacher, Marco Dehn, Robert Heine, and Hans-Jochen Kreidel — Institut für Kernphysik der Universität Mainz

The Mainz Energy Recovering Superconducting Accelerator (Mesa) will be used to explore scattering reactions on windowless targets, i.e. under extremely low background conditions. In our case, the energy recovery linac principle allows for stationary conditions in single pass operation at low beam energies in the 100 MeV range. Mesa allows for sufficient luminosity due to its 1MegaWatt of beam power. Due to energy recovery, only 50 kW occur as real load on the RF-system. The machine will also be used as a conventional c.w. accelerator for a precision measurement of the electro weak mixing angle.
