Scientific paper

PoGOLite is a balloon-borne experiment that will measure the polarization of soft gamma-rays between 25 keV and 80 keV through detection of coincident Compton scattering and absorption in a close-packed array of 217 well-type phoswich detector cells. The potential observation targets include pulsars, accreting compact objects and astrophysical jets. The polarization properties of such radiation can reveal important new information on the geometry, magnetic fields and emission mechanisms of these sources.
