Thomson scattering of intense laser pulses from relativistic electrons allowsus to generate high-brightness and tunable-polarization X/{\gamma}-ray pulses.This paper demonstrates the polarization control of the Thomson scatteringsource experimentally. The polarization of X/{\gamma}-ray is related toincident polarized laser beams, which is controlled by rotating a quarter-waveplate. In the experiment, the polarization of X-ray is determined by recordingthe spatial distribution of scattered photons, produced by X-ray irradiating ona target. According to modulation curves analysed from experiment results, theconclusion is that the polarization of Thomson scattering source is tunable andcontrollable. Meanwhile, stokes parameters of X/{\gamma}-ray whose energyvaries between tens of keV and MeV are simulated. Considering the paraxialphotons, it is showed that the polarization is nearly the same value in a widerange of X-ray energy according to simulation results.
