Abstract:
The University of Mainz’ institute for nuclear physics is operating the microtron cascade MAMI (Mainzer Mikrotron) since the late 1970ies. The microtron delivers a cw electron beam to users of the hadron physics community. The recent, fourth stage MAMI-C having a design energy of 1.5 GeV is operated since 2006 [1]. This article deals with the recent developments and operational experiences of MAMI-C, as well as with the energy upgrades to 1.56 GeV [2] and as final step towards 1.6 GeV. The final increase of beam energy was due to user demands, since it is expected to raise the event rate of the η’- production by an order of magnitude.
