HARPO: a TPC as a gamma-ray telescope and polarimeter
2014
A gas
Time Projection Chambercan be used for
gamma-ray astronomywith excellent angular-precision and sensitivity to
faintsources, and for
polarimetry, through the measurement of photon conversion to e + e − pairs. We present the expected performance in simulations and the recent development of a demonstrator for tests in a polarized photon beam.
