Title: " Thomson X-ray Polarimeter for a Small Satellite Mission "

Room: 1639 (A6F meeting room)

Date: Nov. 29th, 13:30-14:30

We will describe a Thomson X-ray polarimeter developed for a small satellite
mission. The instrument works in the 5-30 keV band and will be suitable for
X-ray polarisation measurement in about 50 hard X-ray sources. The accretion
powered X-ray pulsars, black hole X-ray binaries, rotation powered pulsars and
non-thermal SNR will be the prime targets for this mission. In spite of its
moderate sensitivity, this experiment can give us unique opportunity to
expand the field of X-ray astronomy into a hitherto unexplored dimension.
