The future of X-ray polarimetry towards the 3-dimensional photoelectron track reconstruction
Abstract The development of the first X-ray polarimeter, based on the photoelectric effect 20 years ago and implemented thanks to advances in gas amplification structures and readout techniques, had a significant impact in opening a new window for X-ray polarimetry. This system measures the X-ray polarization by reconstructing the initial …
