Gamma-Ray Polarimetry: A New Window for the Nonthermal Universe

Ilie, Cosmin

Over the past few decades, impressive progress has been made in the field of photon polarimetry, especially in the hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray energy regime. Measurements of the linear degree of polarization for some of the most energetic astrophysical sources, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) or blazars, are now possible, at energies below the p…
