Abstract
A technique for absolute calibration of a Mott polarimeter is described that makes use of electrons of accurately known polarization obtained through surface Penning ionization. This approach provides higher count rates and lower uncertainties than obtained in earlier measurements based on gas‐phase Penning ionization.Keywords
