SynopsisIt is shown that, from an operational point of view, the production and detection of spin-polarised electrons by Mott scattering is equivalent to the performance of a Stern-Gerlach type experiment with heavy spin-one-half particles. The argument is based on standard quantum mechanical formalism using density matrices and Stokes vectors for the description of polarised assemblies of particles.
