We report on the development of a new higly efficient polarimeter, based on the photoelectric effect in gas, for the 2-10 keV energy range, a particularly interesting band for x-ray astronomy. We derive the polarization information by reconstructing the direction of photoelectron emission with a pixel gas detector. Attention is focused on the algorithms used in data analysis in order to maximize the sensitivity of the instrument. Monte Carlo simulation is also discussed in details.
