Paper abstract bibtex The first spectro-polarimetric analysis of the transient NS-LMXB XTE J1701$-$462 has been carried out using IXPE, NICER and NuSTAR data during its 2022 outburst. We report the significant detection of energy-dependent polarization in the X-ray signal from the source on 2022 September 29 in the $2-4$ keV, $4-8$ keV and $2-8$ keV energy bands with a polarization degree of 3.9 ${\}pm$ 0.3% (10.7${\}sigma$), 5.5 ${\}pm$ 0.6% (9.1${\}sigma$) and 4.5 ${\}pm$ 0.4% (12.6${\}sigma$), respectively. The polarization angle in the overall $2-8$ keV band was found to be ${\}sim 143{\textasciicircum}\{{\}circ\}{\}pm 2{\textasciicircum}\{{\}circ\}$. The spectra were modelled using a combination of thermal emission from an accretion disc, Comptonized emission from the corona and a Gaussian line. From spectro-polarimetric analysis, the polarization degree due to the disc emission was found to have an upper limit of ${\}sim$ 6%, and that of the Comptonized emission was constrained at ${\}sim$ 10.5${\}pm$4.9% (at the 3${\}sigma$ level). The implication of these results on the coronal geometry and emission mechanisms is discussed.
