About this document

Electron Polarization Experiment Results by Adriano Araujo is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document describes an experiment attempting to demonstrate polarization in a beam of gamma rays (γ-rays) through double scattering. The experiment involves γ-rays being scattered twice at right angles by targets in a steel cylinder, then entering a Geiger counter. Counts are taken at scattering angles of 270° and 90° and compared, in an analogy to different configurations in optical polarization experiments. Preliminary results from accumulating data over a year are inconclusive despite a large data set
