Electron beam polarimetry Large change in the modulation of Comtpon distribution – large change in the degree of photon polarization
Second experiment 2D 32x32 μ-strip Si(Li) detector Novel 2D position sensitive Si(Li) detector has been applied as an efficient Compton polarimeter. Each voxel of the detector serves a dual role: as a Compton scatterer or a photoabsorber. Kinematics of Compton scattering is determined by a coincident registration of the scattered photon and the recolied electron. (detector subset) Theory by A. Surzhykov Experimental results: R.
