Abstract content
Reliable polarization measurements of photons from Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) would make the understanding of the GRB phenomenon progress enormously. POLAR is a concept for an instrument that would enable such a measurement. We will report about the first results of the performance of a prototype of this instrument and compare it with Monte-Carlo prediction.
