Abstract：
The gamma rays emitted from three photon annihilation of positrons and electrons were selected with a triple coincidence method and the linear polarization of one of the three photons was investigated by using Compton scattering. Under two geometric conditions of three photons annihilation (α ₁=α ₂=α ₃=120° and α ₁=90°, α ₂=α ₃=135°), the ratio of the scattered photons which were parallel with the annihilation plane to those perpendicular with the annihilation plane were 1.82±0.06 and 1.53±0.08, thus the linear polarization of the photons to the annihilation plane were 0.56±0.04 and 0.40±0.09.
