The problem of beam background in Squid Polarimetry is not without residual benefits. We may deliberately generate beam background by gently kicking the beam at the spin tune frequency. This signal may be used to accomplish a simple and accurate absolute calibration of the polarimeter. We present details of beam background calculations and their application to polarimeter calibration, and suggest a simple proof-of-principle accelerator experiment.
