Abstract
A muon beam polarimeter has been built for the SMC experiment at the C ERN SPS, for muon energies of 100 to 200 GeV. The beam polarisation is determined from the energy spectrum of positrons from the decay mu+ - -> e+ nu(e)numuBAR. A polarisation of -0.82 is measured with a relativ e systematic accuracy of 3%.
