Abstract
I report on the first complete experimental characterization of elastic and inelastic two-electron scattering processes in a ferromagnet. By explicit measurement of the spin polarization of primary and scattered electrons the contributions of all four partial scattering rates are determined. The Stoner continuum in Fe at finite is observed for the first time.
