Scientific paper

The INFN and INAF Italian research institutes developed a space-borne X-Ray polarimetry experiment based on a X-Ray telescope, focussing the radiation on a Gas Pixel Detector (GPD). The instrument obtains the polarization angle of the absorbed photons from the direction of emission of the photoelectrons as visualized in the GPD. Here we will show how we compute the angular resolution of such an instrument.
