Scientific paper

The authors have been developing a Compton scattering type polarimeter which consists of nine unit counters to detect the polarization of hard X-rays from stellar objects such as the Crab Nebula. The performance of the planned polarimeter was estimated by computer simulations. The results showed that the polarimeter can detect the polarization of hard X-rays from the Crab Nebula at a MDP (minimum detectable polarization) of 14.0% with a 3-hour balloon observation.
