Description
In the Soft/Medium energy X-Ray band photoelectric focal plane polarimetry resulted, with IXPE, in a break-through increase of sensitivity. Both data and models advocate for an extension to the hard X ray range. At higher energies where gas based detectors are transparent scattering polarimetry is in practice the only viable method. I discuss the difference between collimated and focal plane instruments and the trade-off between efficiency and background, in order to arrive to a decent throughput, with some hint on the needed technologic developments.
