A photoelectric polarimeter for XEUS: a new window in x-ray sky
XEUS is a large area telescope aiming to rise X-ray Astronomy to the level of Optical Astronomy in terms of collecting areas. It will be based on two satellites, locked on a formation flight, one with the optics, one with the focal plane. The present design of the focal plane foresees, as an auxiliary instrument, the inclusion of a Polarimeter based on a Micropattern Chamber. We show how such a...
متن کاملA polarimeter for IXO
The X-ray POLarimeter (XPOL) is an instrument that will fly on-board the International X-ray Observatory (IXO). We will describe the XPOL setup in IXO and we will compare the IXO requirements with the actual prototype performance. The environmental tests performed on the XPOL prototype (thermo-vacuum, vibration and heavy ions irradiation) show that this technology is ready for a space applicati...
متن کاملA simple optical electron polarimeter
It is pointed out that heavy atoms (i.e. those which have spectroscopically resolvable fine structure) are not required for optical measurements of electron polarisation. A polarimeter which uses helium gas instead of heavy-metal vapour is proposed, and several experimental details are discussed. Optical detection of electron polarisation was first proposed more than a decade ago by Farago and ...

cues and they often take precedence over intra-maze stimuli. One possible disadvantage of the present apparatus should be mentioned. A few Ss in the SOW group of each experiment were observed to strenuously oppose box withdrawal throughout training by wedging themselves into the corner between the fixed end wall and the moving floor and side walls. These Ss seldom avoided. Many other Ss display...
متن کاملA vector polarimeter at MAMI
Atomic bremsstrahlung-polarisation correlation between incoming electrons and outgoing photons may allow to design a polarimeter capable of measuring all components of beam polarisation simultaneously. This device can be called a vector polarimeter. It might allow to test theoretical predictions of correlation coefficients between 1 and 3.5 MeV as well as work as a beam diagnostics device. As a...
