Design and construction of the POLAR detector
N. Produit, T. W. Bao, T. Batsch +35
The POLAR detector is a space based Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) polarimeter with a wide field of view, which covers almost half the sky. The instrument uses Compton scattering of gamma r…
Instrument Performance and Simulation Verification of the POLAR Detector
M. Kole, Z. H. Li, N. Produit +32
POLAR is a new satellite-born detector aiming to measure the polarization of an unprecedented number of Gamma-Ray Bursts in the 50-500 keV energy range. The instrument, launched on…
Optimising a balloon-borne polarimeter in the hard X-ray domain: from the PoGOLite Pathfinder to PoGO+
Maxime Chauvin, Miranda Jackson, Takafumi Kawano +6
PoGOLite is a balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter dedicated to the study of point sources. Compton scattered events are registered using an array of plastic scintillator units to…
Preflight performance studies of the PoGOLite hard X-ray polarimeter
M. Chauvin, M. Jackson, T. Kawano +6
Polarimetric studies of astrophysical sources can make important contributions to resolve the geometry of the emitting region and determine the photon emission mechanism. PoGOLite…
