Description
The MAGIX spectrometer setup at the high-intensity electron
accelerator MESA will be ideally suited to perform precision
measurements of the proton form factors at small four-momentum transfers, reaching below Q^2=0.0001 GeV^2. The key element to the success of this type of experiment, aimed at a precise determination of the proton charge radius, is the absence of a target cell and the very low target density compared to a liquid target, minimizing the irreducible background and the effects of energy loss and multiple scattering. In this talk, I will present the basic concept as well as the status of preparations for this proton radius experiment at MESA.
