Abstract
A symmetrical four-detector Compton polarimeter was used to measure the linear polarization of gamma-rays emitted from nuclei oriented by the hyperfine interaction at low temperature. Its polarization detection efficiency was determined in the range 0.3–1.4 MeV and compared with some other polarimeters.
