Description
This paper reports the localization performance analysis of a compact GRB monitor to fly on a future cubesat. This proposed GRB monitor consists of four hexagonal CsI scintillator detectors of geometric area 12.5 $cm^{2}$ encased in 2 mm thick aluminium (Al7075) on the sides and one square detector of area 8 $cm^{2}$ on the top. All detectors have a thickness of 0.5 cm. The base of the detector module has a 0.3 mm thick tungsten layer to protect the SiPM from radiation damage. In this study, we prepare 2 simulation models of the instrument using MEGAlib/Geomega - one with 5 detectors (4 hexagonal + 1 square on the top) and the other with only the 4 hexagonal detectors. We run simulations with MEGAlib/Cosima to study the localization capability of such an instrument and how much it can improve due to the presence of the top detector.
