Title Ultra-High Precision Compton Polarimetry at 2 GeV
Abstract We report a high precision measurement of electron beam polarization using Compton polarimetry. The measurement was made in experimental Hall A at Jefferson Lab during the CREX experiment in 2020. A precision of dP/P = 0.36% was achieved detecting the back-scattered photons from the Compton scattering process. This is the highest precision in a measurement of electron beam polarization using Compton scattering ever reported, surpassing the ground-breaking measurement from the SLD Compton polarimeter. Such precision reaches the level required for the future flagship measurements to be made by the MOLLER and SoLID Experiments.
