论文摘要
The polarimetry of gamma rays converting to an $e^+e^-$ pair would open a new window on the high-energy gamma-ray sky by, among other things, providing insight into the radiation mechanism in pulsars (curvature or synchrotron) or deciphering the composition of the gamma-ray emitting jets in blazars (leptonic or lepto-hadronic).已经通过模拟和用线性极好的伽马射线束上的望远镜原型分析使用望远镜原型的数据进行了研究,并且通过望远镜的脉冲束,并发现了(FERMI LATA),敏捷的Project(Ameg go go go go go go go go go go,但是,使用基于硅条检测器(SSD)的主动靶标(迄今为止,与SSD的有效极化不对称性都没有证明,无论是使用模拟的数据,并且从模拟的数据中获得了敏感性估计。提高灵敏度的方法。
The polarimetry of gamma rays converting to an $e^+e^-$ pair would open a new window on the high-energy gamma-ray sky by, among other things, providing insight into the radiation mechanism in pulsars (curvature or synchrotron) or deciphering the composition of the gamma-ray emitting jets in blazars (leptonic or lepto-hadronic). The performance of polarimeters based on homogeneous active targets (gas detectors (MeV, HARPO) or emulsions (GeV, GRAINE) has been studied both with simulation and by the analysis of data collected with telescope prototypes on linearly-polarised gamma-ray beams, and found to be excellent. The present (Fermi LAT), AGILE and future project (AMEGO, ASTROGAM) gamma-ray missions, though, are using active targets based on silicon strip detectors (SSD). No demonstration of a non-zero effective polarisation asymmetry with SSDs has been published to date, be it only with simulated data, and sensitivity estimations were obtained from an assumed value of the effective polarisation asymmetry. I present a characterisation of the potential of SSD-based active targets for polarimetry with gamma-ray conversions to pairs and the development of various methods to improve on the sensitivity. This work could pave the way to providing the polarimetry of the brightest gamma-ray sources of the sky from the decade of data collected by the Fermi LAT and by AGILE, and to guiding the design of future missions.
