Date/Time: Tue Jul 28 2026 at 14:00<br/><br/>Location: Auditorium<br/><br/>Speaker: Luca Doria (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz)<br/><br/>Title: The MESA Electron Accelerator Facility and its Science Program<br/><br/>Abstract: At the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Mainz, the new electron accelerator MESA (Mainz Energy-recovery Superconducting
Accelerator) will go into operation within the next years. MESA will provide intense electron beams for hadron
and nuclear physics, as well as for light dark matter searches (LDM) and exotic particles like the X17.
In particular, I will present the MAGIX and DarkMESA experiments at MESA. MAGIX is a two-spectrometer setup
coupled with a gas-jet target with a wide physics program. DarkMESA is a beam-dump experiment
focused on LDM. The status of the facility and of the experiments will be presented, together with results from prototype detectors
and projected physics reach.
