We are interested in polarized electron physics. Our work involves studies of polarized electrons scattering from atomic and chiral molecular targets, the development of novel sources of polarized electrons and electron polarimeters, and investigations of the fundamental nature of the electron. We are funded by the Physics Division of the National Science Foundation.
