Studies Of The Polarization Of Gamma Photons Originating From The Decay of Positronium Atoms
arXiv:1811.12180 · doi:10.1063/1.5135870
Abstract
The precise measurements of the Compton scatterings of photons originating from the decay of positronium atoms can reveal information about their polarizations. J-PET detector is constructed of 192 plastic scintillators and is unique to study the scattering correlations of the annihilation photons with an angular precision of several degrees. In this work, we present the first experimental evidence showing the feasibility of measuring the photons relative polarization using the J-PET detector.
