Description
Geant4 is currently being used to assist in the design (geometry and shielding) of the SHARP (Solar HARd X-ray Polarimeter) instrument of the PADRE (solar PolArization and Directivity X-Ray Experiment) mission. SHARP will determine the degree of polarization of solar flare non-thermal X-rays. I will present calculations done so far, including MDP (Minimum Detectable Polarization) and mu100. I will also discuss plots showing detector responses and comparisons with scattering theory.
