Abstract
A polarized electron source was designed at Orsay. We have chosen to a dapt the flowing helium afterglow source working at Rice University be cause it provides a very high polarization. We have investigated a new way for the optical pumping of the helium metastables. An 85% electro n polarization was reached.
