The charge coupled device as an X-Ray polarimeter

New results of X-ray polarisation detection efficiencies are presented for two small pixel devices. EEV Ltd. have designed the first CCD X-ray polarimeter with an improved deep depletion layer of 80 urn, to maximise the device quantum efficiency at energies above 1 keV. A novel design concept has be...
