Cipher, A Polarimeter Telescope Concept for Hard X-Ray Astronomy

Stephen, J. B.; Caroli, E.; Curado da Silva, R. M. +1 more

The polarisation of astrophysical source emission in the energy range from a few tens of keV up to the MeV region is an almost unexplored field of high-energy astrophysics. Till date, polarimetry in astrophysics in the energy domain from hard X-rays up to soft γ-rays has not been pursued due to the difficulties involved in obtaining sufficient sen…
