Abstract
At a linear collider of the next generation the large event rates expe cted from Bhabha and Moller scattering may be used to determine simult aneously sin(2) theta(w) and the polarization of both beams with very high accuracy. These measurements can be performed in parallel to the other tasks of the linear collider as a free by-product. A high degree of polarization and a good polar angle coverage of the detectors turn out to be major assets.
