Description

We describe the polarimeter POMME, and give the results of its calibration in the region 200-1200 MeV, using the Saturne polarized proton beam. The high energy part of this domain (800-1200 MeV) was previously unexplored. Parametrizations of the inclusive p-C analyzing power and polarimeter efficiency as a function of scattering angle and incident energy are given, completing the data already available at lower energies. The optimization of proton polarimeters in this energy domain is also discussed. (orig.)
