Development and status of the MAGIX experiment — •Sabato Stefano Caiazza — Institut für Kernphysik, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany

One of the most relevant energy scales to solve several scientific puzzles in modern nuclear and particle physics is that between 10 and 100 MeV. For example, in this energy range, we might find a solution of the g-2 discrepancy and we can perform more precise measurements to address the proton radius puzzle.

To perform competitive research in any of those fields it is very important to have a dedicated machine with an high performance experiment, optimized for its environment. We will , therefore, present the status and the development plans of the MAGIX (MesA Gas Internal target eXperiment) experiment, currently under design, to be installed on the Mainz energy recovery superconductive accelerator (MESA) recirculating beam. This experiment features a high resolution, twin-arm magnetic spectrometer, interfaced without windows with an internal gas target and will be completed in the upcoming years.
