Abstract

A new method for measuring linear polarization was applied to study the Z dependence of the degree of linear polarization in the elastic scattering of 662-keV gamma-rays at 90°. The measurements were performed with five elements: Sn, Sm, Hf, Pb and U. The degree of polarization decreases with increasing Z. The calibration of the efficiency of the polarization analyzer was made by measuring the asymmetry ratio of Compton scattered gamma-rays in graphite.
