Far infrared polarimeter with very low instrumental polarization
After a short analysis of the main problems involved in the construction of a Far Infrared polarimeter with very low instrumental noise, we describe the instrument that will be employed at MITO telescope to search for calibration sources and investigate polarization near the CMB anisotropy peaks in the next campaign (Winter 2002-03).
متن کاملA Concept for a High-Energy Gamma-ray Polarimeter
We present a concept for an imaging gamma-ray polarimeter operating from ∼ 50 MeV to ∼ 1 GeV. Such an instrument would be valuable for the study of high-energy pulsars, active galactic nuclei, supernova remnants, and gamma-ray bursts. The concept makes use of pixelized gas micro-well detectors, under development at Goddard Space Flight Center, to record the electron-positron tracks from pair-pr...
متن کاملA M Ller Polarimeter for High Energy Electron Beams
A single arm M ller polarimeter used to measure the longitudinal beam polarization of the 48 GeV electron beam for SLAC xed target experiment E{154 is described. The polarimeter utilizes an array of silicon strip detectors and a dipole magnetic spectrometer to detect M ller scattered electrons from magnetized Fe-Co alloy target foils. The details of the foil polarization measurements and analys...
متن کاملAn absolute polarimeter for high energy protons
A study of the spin asymmetries for polarized elastic proton proton collisions in the electromagnetic hadronic interference (CNI) region of momentum transfer provides a method of self calibration of proton polarization. The method can be extended to non-identical spin half scattering so that, in principle, the polarization of a proton may be obtained through an analysis of its elastic collision...
متن کاملO ct 1 99 9 A high - precision polarimeter
We have built a polarimeter in order to measure the electron beam polarization in hall C at JLAB. Using a superconducting solenoid to drive the pure-iron target foil into saturation, and a symmetrical setup to detect the Møller electrons in coincidence, we achieve an accuracy of <1%. This sets a new standard for Møller polarimeters.
