We built a schematic version of the COSI ACS, reproducing the same work of Alvarez Franco’s master thesis and studied the transmission, reflection and absorption probabilities as functions of the angle of incidence. We also reproduced the same simulation for a system of two scintillators glued together and tested the transmissivity of different types of glues as a function of the photon energy.ELETTRONICOenVerification of optical processes in Geant4 for the simulation of the COSI mission: using simple slabs as test caseResearch reportFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering
