At the superconducting 130 MeV Darmstadt electron linac S-DALINAC* a source of polarized electrons** is being installed, extending the experimental capabilities with polarized electron and polarized photon probes for nuclear structure studies. This involves disassembling the existing low energy test stand and rebuilding the beam line in the accelerator hall. The beam itself is produced from a GaAs cathode by irradiation with a pulsed laser. The low-energy electron beam line includes diagnostic elements, a Wien filter for spin manipulation, a 100 keV Mott polarimeter for polarization measurement and a chopper-prebuncher section to modulate the time structure of the beam. At higher energies a 5-10 MeV Mott polarimeter and a 50-130 MeV Moeller polarimeter as well as a Compton transmission polarimeter will be installed to measure the beam polarization after acceleration. The Mott polarimeter is working with backscattered electrons under 165° scattering angle while for the Moeller polarimeter a wide-angle (3°-15°) spectrometer magnet was designed. We report on the performance of the test stand, the ongoing implementation, and the polarimeter research and development.
