Description

The Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) is currently under construction on the campus of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and is scheduled to begin operation in
2027. In this talk, an overview of the operating principles and the experimental program of the MESA experiments MAGIX, P2, and DarkMESA will be presented. As will be shown, the high beam intensities of the MESA accelerator, which will accelerate an electron beam of up to 155 MeV, provide the basis for unique experiments in the fields of nuclear, hadron, and particle physics
