A Pair Polarimeter for Linearly Polarized High Energy Photons

Conference ·
OSTI ID:814735

A high quality beam of linearly polarized photons of several GeV will become available with the coherent bremsstrahlung technique at JLab. We have developed a polarimeter which requires about two meters of the beam line, has an analyzing power of 20% and an efficiency of 0.02%. The layout and first results of a polarimeter test on the laser back-scattering photon beam at Spring-8/LEPS are presented
