Optimization of the Electron Spectrometer Telescope geometry for the PRESET satellite through Monte Carlo simulation
Abstract
The Electron Spectrometer Telescope (EST) aboard the PRESET satellite mission aims to measure the pitch angle distribution of 0.3–4 MeV electrons in the outer Van Allen belts. The PRESET satellite is planned to launch into a sun-synchronous low Earth orbit in Q2, 2026. We present comprehensive Monte Carlo simulations to optimize the design and response of the EST instrument. The EST consists of a stack of silicon strip detectors and a …
