摘要:The Simbol-X project is a new generation high energy telescope operating in the 0.5 to 80 keV
energy range which will take advantage of the emerging spacecraft formation flying technology.
Simbol-X will study the most high-energy phenomena in the universe with an excellent image
definition and sensitivity along with a very good spectral resolution. The focal assembly of the
Simbol-X telescope is formed by two superimposed spectral imaging systems, so the Compton
mode can be used for polarimetric studies. After a brief description of the mission, we present
our first results in this mode based on numerical simulations. We conclude that Compton
polarimetric studies in the hard X-rays range with Simbol-X prove to be a reasonable
complementary scientific topic of the mission.
