Abstract: The hydrogen Lyman-α line at 121.6 nm and the Mg II k line at 279.5 nm are especially relevant for deciphering the magnetic structure of the chromosphere since their line-center signals are formed in the chromosphere and transition region, with unique sensitivities to magnetic fields. We propose the Chromospheric LAyer Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP2), to build upon the success of the first CLASP flight, which measured the linear polarization in H I Lyman-α. The existing CLASP instrument will be refitted to measure all four Stokes parameters in the 280 nm range, including variations due to the anisotropic radiation pumping, the Hanle effect, and the Zeeman effect.
