Abstract:
The Mainz Energy-recovery Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) is currently under construction at the institute of nuclear physics in Mainz. The talk will discuss the MESA physics programme, starting with parity violating electron scattering for the determination of the weak mixing angle. Other parity violation measurements as well as the physics programme of the MAGIX spectrometer setup and the DarkMESA dark matter search will also be discussed.
