Abstract

A polarimeter has been constructed from one germanium crystal containing five separate active volumes. Coincidences between these volumes make it possible to measure simultaneously γ-ray spectra of Compton scattered quanta into two planes perpendicular to each other. Characteristic features of the system are high efficiency and polarization sensitivity.
