提出了一种新的球载仪器，它将允许在30-200 keV的能量范围内的伽玛射线的偏振进行测量。各种各样的天体物理源，如活动星系核，星系星和银河X射线双星，预计会发射偏振伽马射线。对它们偏振特性的研究将为这些源的几何和物理条件提供一个新的和强有力的探测。
A new balloon-borne instrument is proposed which will allow the polarisation of gamma-rays in the energy range 30–200 keV to be measured. A diverse variety of astrophysical sources, such as Active Galactic Nuclei, pulsars and Galactic X-ray binaries are expected to emit polarised gamma-rays. Studies of their polarisation properties will provide a new and powerful probe of the geometry and physical conditions in these sources.
