42. The Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator MESA - an Overview

Achim Denig (JGU Mainz)

13/04/2026, 13:30

Lecture

The Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) is currently under construction on the campus of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and is scheduled to begin operation in 2027. In this talk, an overview of the operating principles and the experimental program of the MESA experiments MAGIX, P2, and DarkMESA will be presented. As will be shown, the high beam intensities of the...

58. Future Detector R&D - An Overview of the DRDs and the European Strategy for Particle Physics

Thomas Bergauer (Austrian Academy of Sciences (AT))

Lecture

The European Strategy for Particle Physics identifies detector R&D as a key enabling component for the future experimental program in high-energy physics and foresees the Future Circular Collider as the next flagship facility. In particular, the electron–positron stage, FCC-ee, is designed as a precision machine that imposes stringent demands on detector performance. Vertex and tracking...

33. A practical guide to beam telescopes

Justus Braach (CERN)

15/04/2026, 09:00

Lecture

Beam telescopes play a central role in the development of technologies for particle detection as well as beam manipulation. They provide reference measurements of particle trajectories that enable performance studies of Devices Under Test in particle beams. Successful operation relies on the coordinated integration of detectors, mechanics, and electronics. In addition, dedicated gateware,...
