Mainz Microtron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mainz Microtron (German name: Mainzer Mikrotron), abbreviated MAMI, is an electron accelerator of the microtron type, in which electrons are accelerated to relativistic velocities. It is operated by the Institute for Nuclear Physics of the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. Its purpose is the generation of polarized electron and photon beams. MAMI B, the third stage of MAMI, is the world's largest microtron as of 2006[update].[1]
MAMI consists of:[2]
- MAMI A1 (output energy: 14 MeV)
- MAMI A2 (output energy: 180 MeV)
- MAMI B (output energy: 855 MeV)
- MAMI C (output energy: 1.5 GeV)
