A technique used to measure the linear polarisation of γ-rays has been described and demonstrated using the AFRODITE (African Omnipurpose Detector For Innovative Techniques and Experiments) Clover detectors at the National Accelerator Centre (NAC), located in Faure near Cape Town. The feasibility study of measuring the linear polarisation of γ-rays using the AFRODITE spectrometer at the NAC has been done for the first time and the sensitivity of the Clover detectors to linear polarisation has been measured by internal calibration of the polarimeter, using γ-rays of known polarisation. 2014-08-13T20:08:24Z 2014-08-13T20:08:24Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6539 eng application/pdf Department of Physics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
