Description

The degree of linear polarization of the coherent bremsstrahlung beam of the Tomsk synchrotron was determined experimentally by analyzing the height distribution of electron-positron pairs in spark chambers situated in the paired-magnetic-spectrometer channel. The chambers operated on-line with an ''Elektronika 100'' electronic computer. The degree of polarization of the beam of γ quanta having an energy 270 MeV is equal to 0.42+-0.08
