GRB Prompt Emission Polarization GRB Prompt Emission Polarization Key Scientific AspectsKey Scientific Aspects
Nm/Nd > 30% with Pol=.2 .7 SO Model
Nm/Nd < 15% SR / CD Model
Pol > .7 CD model
Emission mechanism of prompt emission is still unknown
Synchrotron radiation in globally ordered B (SO)?
Synchrotron radiation in small scale random B (SR)?
Inverse Compton scattering of soft photons (CD)?
Xray polarization of prompt emission may lift the degeneracy in the models

pixelated CZT detectors
4 x 4 cm2 (16 x 16 pixel)
5 mm thick
Total 64 modules (16 in 4 quadrants)
Orbotech CZT modules
Pixilated detectors can measure polarization
Compton scattering in one pixel and absorption of the scattered photon in another pixel constitute the azimuthal angle histogram

Filtering conditions
– 100 – 220 keV
– Neighboring pixels
– E_sc/E_dep < 6
No GRB in double pixel events for < 100 keV !!!
No GRB in double pixel events for < 100 keV !!!
Double pixel events (selection criteria) do represent Compton events
Polarization ??? less systematic and distinct response for off-axis sources
