摘要：
A new linear polarimetry technique based on Rayleigh scattering is introduced. Its properties are compared to the Compton technique. Experimental verification was realized using a 5 x 5 segmented planar HPGe pixel detector. In the proof-of-principle experiment a measurement of Rayleigh scattering off lead atoms was performed for linearly polarized; approximate to 53.3 keV photons at two scattering angles.
