MAGIX at MESA — •Sören Schlimme for the MAGIX collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität, Mainz, Germany

MAGIX will be the multi-purpose flagship experiment at the future MESA energy-recovering superconducting electron accelerator in Mainz. High precision scattering experiments at the low-energy frontier will be performed using a high-resolution magnetic spectrometer setup, covering a wide experimental program including nuclear structure investigations, determination of observables with astrophysical relevance, and the search for exotic particles. Delicate requirements exist for the experimental setup, mainly related to the low energies of the involved particles. In this presentation, the physics program at MAGIX will be outlined and an overview of the apparatus will be given, ranging from the internal cryogenic supersonic jet target to the sophisticated spectrometer magnet design, and from GEM-based Time Projection Chambers to Silicon Strip Detectors.
