By selecting bremsstrahlung produced in a 0.003-in. aluminum radiator at a small angle from the original electron direction, a beam of polarized bremsstrahlung has been obtained from the Stanford linear accelerator. The variation of the polarization and intensity with angle was studied and compared with theoretical predictions. The polarized beam has been used to study pi /sup +/-meson production at 90 deg c.m. angle and photon energies of 242, 296. 337. and 376 Mev. The ratio of meson production along and at right angles to the electric field vector has been measured and compared wiih the values predicted by the relativistic dispersion relation. (auth)
