| Abstract: |
Linear γ-ray polarization can be measured using segmented germanium detectors. The polarization sensitivity of the Compton scattering process leads to asymmetries in the signals of a segmented detector. We have measured the polarization sensitivity of a four-fold segmented large volume germanium detector up to photon energies of approximately 10 MeV for the first time. The detector and its performance are compared to smaller Compton polarimeters which have been analyzed in previous work. A possible application of the described Compton polarimeter will be parity assignments in photon scattering experiments. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] |
