Polarization Calibration of the Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter for a 0.1 % Polarization Sensitivity in the VUV Range. Part I: Pre-flight Calibration
The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter (CLASP) is a sounding rocket experiment designed to measure for the first time the linear polarization of the hydrogen Lyman-{α} line (121.6 nm) and requires a 0.1 % polarization sensitivity, which is unprecedented for a spectropolarimeter in the vacuum UV (VUV) spectral range.
