The Hall-C Moller Polarimeter measures the polarization of the electron beam arriving in Hall-C. It does so by observing the rate of production of Moller electrons at 90 degrees in the center of mass when the beam strikes a thin iron target. The outer shell electrons in the iron are polarized parallel (or anti-parallel) to the beam direction by a 4 Tesla magnetic field. The Moller electron production rate differs when the beam and target electron spins are aligned parallel or anti-parallel to one-another. Measurement of this rate difference provides a measure of the beam polarization.

The Electron-Ion Collider is a proposed machine for delving deeper than ever before into the building blocks of matter, so that we may better understand the matter within us and its role in the universe around us.
