Outline Astrophysics with Polarized Photons Detectors in the Compton regime Simulation Requirements Geant4 processes ARGO: Compton or Pair telescope?

Polarized Gamma Astrophyics Compton Astrophyics (MeV region) Emission Mechanisms (Synchrotron Radiation, Bremsstrahlung, Compton Scattering, Photon Splitting) Astronomical Sites (Solar Flares, Galactic BH candidates, Pulsars, Plerions, AGN, GRB) See Review by Lei, Dean & Hills (1997)

Detectors in the Compton Regime Principles of operation Polarization measurements in the Compton regime

Polarization Detection Modulation Factor (azimuthal distribution of scattered photons  ) Figure of merit of Polarimeter Minimum Detectable Polarization See McConnell (ACT Workshop 2001)

COMPTEL Simulation in Geant3 - without the Spacecraft - EM only Background simulation Poor geometry small modulation factor See McConnell - Kippen (ACT Workshop 2001)
