Scientific paper

The IBIS telescope on board the INTEGRAL satellite, while designed to produce high resolution images of the gamma-ray sky, will also be able to measure the polarization of strong high energy sources. We present an estimate of the polarization sensitivities of both the high energy detector (PICsIT) operating in polarization mode and of the IBIS Compton events which scatter from the low energy to the high energy detector, for possible observations of the CRAB pulsar and for the case of a strong gamma-ray burst in the fully coded field of view.
