Using coherent bremsstrahlung at MAMI (Mainz), the beam asymmetry of the differential cross sections for coherent π° photoproduction on 4He has been measured in the energy interval from 200 to 500 MeV at an angle of θlab = 37°. The coherent ( γ,π°) reaction is used as a precise linear polarimeter for the first time. Agreement with predictions has been obtained on a ≳3% level of precision.
