In comparison to common Compton Polarimeters the DAGATA (Darmstadt GAmma-ray Tracking Assembly) polarimeter will significantly enhance the sensitivity for γ-rays above 4 MeV making use of its large volume 36-fold segmented HPGe AGATA crystal and the resulting superior position resolution. Results from Monte Carlo Simulations will be presented as well as approaches for data analysis to further improve the sensitivity. Application limits and realistic simulated spectra will be compared to results from existing polarimeters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
