Abstract: The physics program at the upgraded Jefferson Lab (JLab) and the physics program envisioned for the proposed electron-ion collider (EIC) include large efforts to search for interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM) using parity violation in electroweak interactions. These experiments require precision electron polarimetry with an uncertainty of < 0.5\%. The spin dependent Synchrotron radiation (SR), called “spin-light,” can be used to monitor the electron beam polarization. In this article we develop a conceptual design for a “spin-light” polarimeter that can be used at a high intensity, multi-GeV electron accelerator. We have also built a Geant4 based simulation for a prototype device and report some of the results from these simulations. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
