Facilities

Scientists at Mainz have benefitted for many years from the excellent and unique local research infrastructure on the JGU campus. Currently this includes the MAMI accelerator constructed and operated by the Institute for Nuclear Physics and the TRIGA Mainz Research Reactor at the Institute for Nuclear Chemistry which is a high-quality source of ultra-cold neutrons.

MESA - Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator

At MESA, we explore the physics opportunities offered by using the recently established Energy-Recovery-Linac (ERL) accelerator technology which enables very high electron-beam luminosities on internal targets at low energies. MESA will be the first accelerator to investigate multiturn energy recovery in a superconducting environment. ...

TRIGA Reactor and Neutron Source

Ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) offer unique opportunities for studying the properties of the free neutron with exceptionally high precision. Properties as its lifetime can be measured with unprecedented accuracy.  ...

PRISMA Detector Lab

The PRISMA Detector Lab promotes the collaboration and facilitates the exchange of experiences and technologies within PRISMA+. It consists of laboratories and workplaces, where scientists with different expertise and students share a common environment and infrastructure. ...
