For the 1994/95 run of the SLD experiment at SLAC, a Compton polarimeter measured the luminosity-weighted electron beam polarization to be (77.2 +- 0.5)%. This excellent accuracy is achieved by measuring the rate asymmetry of Compton-scattered electrons near the kinematic endpoint. The polarimeter takes data continuously while the electron and positron beams are in collision and achieves a statistical precision of better than 1% in a three minute run. To calibrate the polarimeter and demonstrate its accuracy, many scans are frequently done. These include scans of the laser polarization, the detector position with respect to the kinematic edge, and the laser power. Presented at the Workshop on High Energy Polarimeters at NIKHEF, Amsterdam, The Netherlands on September 9, 1996.

We present an overview of the electroweak physics program of the SLD experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). A data sample of 550K Z0 decays has been collected. This experiment utilizes a highly polarized electron beam, a small i nteraction volume, and a very precise pixel vertex detector. We present a preliminary result for the weak mixing angle, sin2(thetaw)=0.23110 +- 0.00029. We also present a preliminary result for the parity violating parameter, A_b = 0.898 +- 0.029. These measurements are used to test for physics beyond the Standard Model.

A Compton polarimeter has been installed in Hall A at Jefferson Laboratory. This letter reports on the first electron beam polarization measurements performed during the HAPPEX experiment at an electron energy of 3.3 GeV and an average current of 40 $mu$A. The heart of this device is a Fabry-Perot cavity which increased the luminosity for Compton scattering in the interaction region so much that a 1.4% statistical accuracy could be obtained within one hour, with a 3.3% total error.

We present new results from the study of B decays at SLD: a measurement of the inclusive double-charm branching fraction in B-hadron decays and a search for the rare exclusive charmless decays B+ --> Rho0 Pi+(K+) and B+ --> K*0 Pi+(K+). Using a novel technique which consists of counting charged kaons produced at the secondary (B) vertex and the tertiary (D) vertex, we measure BR(B-->DDbarX) = 0.188 +- 0.025(stat) +- 0.059(syst). Another technique, based on the comparison of the charge of the D vertex to the flavor of the B hadron at production, yields a consistent result. In the search for rare exclusive B+ decays, no candidates were found and competitive branching ratio upper limits are derived.
Compton backscattering polarimetry provides a fast and accurate method to measure the polarization of an electron beam in a storage ring. Since the method is non-destructive, the polarization of the electron beam can be monitored during internal targ et experiments. For this reason, a Compton polarimeter has been constructed at NIKHEF to measure the polarization of the longitudinally polarized electrons which can be stored in the AmPS ring. The design and results of the polarimeter, the first Compton polarimeter to measure the polarization of a stored longitudinally polarized electron beam directly, are presented in this paper.
