Abstract

The Mainz Microtron MAMI is a cascade of three racetrack microtrons, delivering since 1991 a high-quality 855MeV, 100 µA cw-electron beam for nuclear, hadron and radiation physics experiments. An energy upgrade of this facility to 1.5 GeV by adding a Harmonic Double-Sided Microtron (HDSM) as a fourth stage is well underway and first beam is expected during the first half of 2006. A detailed description of the multiple recirculation scheme with normal conducting accelerator structures, the basis for the reliable operation of MAMI, is given and the historical development from MAMIA to MAMIB is described. The natural advancement to MAMIC by realizing a polytron of the next higher order, the HDSM, is covered in the last section and a first glimpse into the future of MAMI is given.
