Description

It is experimentally and theoretically challenging to determine the exact number of exited nuclear states and their properties, since the short lifetime of these exited states leads to strongly overlapping resonances. Using a polarized beam, a polarized target or using the polarization of the recoil nucleon helps to measure single or double polarization observables, finding an unambiguous partial wave analysis solution.\
The CBELSA/TAPS experiment in Bonn provides a polarized photon beam as well as a longitudinally or transversely polarized target, allowing for the determination of single and double polarization observables. The Crystal Barrel (CB) calorimeter, together with the MiniTAPS calorimeter in forward direction, give the opportunity for close to $4\pi$ coverage for the measurements.\
In this talk I will present the determination of the polarization observables T, P and H, for energies between $600MeV$ and $3200MeV$, using data collected after the recent upgrade of the CB calorimeters readout electronics and compares these results with previous data and model predictions.
