Abstract
The MIT Bates 1 GeV electron scattering facility has recently completed a demanding set of parity violating experiments on the proton and the deuteron. These experiments required a polarized electron beam of unprecedented quality and high average currents. The facility has invested heavily in infrastructure for producing polarized beams and measuring beam polarization. This infrastructure includes a test beam set-up, a transmission polarimeter at 20 MeV, a laser back-scattering Compton polarimeter and a Siberian Snake. The polarized source group is also actively pursuing laser systems and photocathodes that could deliver high polarization, high peak current and moderate average current beams to meet the needs of the physics programs at Bates in the coming years.
