description

A source of polarized electrons has been set up in order to inject polarized electrons into the 855 MeV c.w. electron accelerator MAMI B at the Mainz nuclear physics institute. It is based on photoemission of the 3/5 semiconductor GaAsP and will provide a d.c. current of 100 µA with a beam emittance of 1π mm mrad, and a polarization of about 40%.
