Abstract
A dedicated Mott polarimeter was designed to study the final spin state in M\o{}ller scattering of transversely polarized electron beams in the relativistic energy range. The polarization transfer was measured for two incident-beam polarization orientations with respect to the M\o{}ller scattering plane, at 3 MeV incident-beam energy. The results are found to be in agreement with the predictions of relativistic quantum mechanics. Estimates for the measurement of quantum spin correlations in M\o{}ller scattering, based on a simultaneous determination of the spin projections for both electrons in the final state, are also presented.
