Study of quantum spin correlations of relativistic electron pairs
The following institutions are involved in the project, currently in the development phase: UW, UŁ and Technische Universitaet Darmstadt. Electron pairs under study will originate from a 3 MeV polarised beam scattering on atomic electrons (Moller scattering, e-e- → e-e-). The measurement regards correlations of spin projections on chosen directions for the final state pair (MeV-energy Mott polarimetry). The detector is planned as a double Mott polarimeter (construction phase). Results, expected in 2017 will be compared to predictions of QM. This will be the first such measurement for massive, relativistic particles.
