ELECTRON BEAM POLARIMETRY AT LOW ENERGIES AND ITS APPLICATIONS

• Low energy (E-k similar to 100 keV) Mott scattering polarimetry is a widely established technique to measure the polarization of an electron beam. We analyze the feasibility of Mott scattering at energies up to 20 MeV. For further studies of the electron spin dynamics in the scattering process a correlation between the linear polarization of bremsstrahlung radiation and the electron beam polarization has been measured for the first time using a planar HPGe Compton polarimeter at the 100 keV source of polarized electrons at TU Darmstadt.
