Scientific paper

Recent results of computer modeling show how the UCLA-UTD High Resolution Gamma Ray Telescope could potentially be used to detect the polarization states of incoming gammas to learn more about the nature of their source. The High Resolution Gamma Ray Telescope is operated as a Compton telescope consisting of a Liquid Argon Converter, a Gas Drift Chamber and a Liquid Argon Calorimeter. Through slight modifications of the telescope, we show that it may be possible to ascertain the linear polarization states of the gamma rays if a large enough number of events can be analyzed.
