Description

The new Mainzer Energy recovering Superconduting Accelerator (MESA) will be used for high precision measurement of the Weinberg angle at low Q². In order to be able to measure as precise as desired, the polarisation of the incident electron beam has be know with very low uncertainty. Therefore a Double Scattering Polarimeter (DSP) will be installed at MESA at low energies. In my talk I will present the status of the comissioning and test measurements at a 100 keV test source.
