Using a transversely polarized electron beam a relativistic ([ital e],2[ital e]) experiment has been performed to look for a spin up-down asymmetry in the electron-impact ionization process caused by the spin-orbit interaction of the continuum electrons in the Coulomb field of the atomic nucleus. An incident energy of 300 keV, coplanar asymmetric kinematics, and the [ital K] shell of silver ([ital Z]=47) have been used. We found a distinct spin asymmetry in the recoil peak (up to 16%), whereas in the binary peak the asymmetry is close to zero. This feature is confirmed by theoretical calculations, but quantitatively the agreement is poor.
