Sensitivity of single crystals to the circular polarization of high-energy gamma-quanta

Abstract

It is shown that single crystals are sensitive to the initial circular polarization of gamma-quanta with energies in tens GeV and more. The possibility of measurement of gamma-beam polarization is discussed. The obtained results may be useful for creation of polarimeters for high energy beams of gamma-quanta.
