Abstract

POMME is the first calibrated deuteron polarimeter using a d + carbon semi-inclusive scattering reaction. We present the results of its calibration in the region Td = 150–700 MeV, with the polarized deuteron beam from the synchrotron Saturne. A parametrization of the measured analyzing powers, and a discussion of the obtained efficiency and figure of merit are also given.

    This requires as thick a target as possible. Polarimeters mounted, for example, on the focal plane of a spectrometer have achieved efficiencies above 1% [11,12]. The efficiency is defined by the ratio of useful events scattered into the detector divided by the number of deuterons incident on the target.
