| 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. |
