Abstract
Studies using a compact retarding-potential Mott polarimeter have revealed an unanticipated source of potential systematic error that can introduce si gnificant error in the measured polarizations. The origin of this is discus sed together with a simple procedure that can be used to test for its prese nce. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0034-6748(99)02507-1].
