文摘
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-\({\alpha}\) line (121.6 nm) and requires a \(0.1~\%\) polarization sensitivity, which is unprecedented for a spectropolarimeter in the vacuum UV (VUV) spectral range.
