The MAGIX spectrometer setup — •David Markus for the MAGIX collaboration — Institute for Nuclear Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany
The MAinz Gas Injection Target EXperiment has initiated the installation of its advanced spectrometers. In conjunction with with the Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator, MAGIX will perform electron scattering measurements on different gases ranging from hydrogen over helium to argon using an internal gas jet target. With a design luminosity reaching 1035 cm−2 s−1 at beam energies of up to 105 MeV, MAGIX is capable of providing valuable insights into a number of different areas of physics ranging from the S-factor of the alpha capture of carbon-12 to the electromagnetic form factors of the proton.
The scattered electrons will be measured with two identical high resolution magnetic spectrometers, each equipped with a Time Projection Chamber placed around their focal plane and plastic scintillators underneath to serve as a trigger veto system. The complete MAGIX setup, from the internal gas jet target in its scattering chamber over the spectrometers to the TPC, is designed to maximally reduce the material budget and therefore limit multiple scattering. This poster presents an overview of the components of MAGIX and how they will work together to achieve the proposed physics program.
