Abstract
A significant asymmetry of the Compton back-scattered photons was observed when illuminating the LEP beam with circularly polarized laser shots. The corresponding polarization level is estimated to be about 9%. The asymmetry could be modified by exciting a spin resonance. This experiment was made at dedicated energy and machine optics. The consistency of the measurement with the prediction of the polarization is satisfactory.
