Abstract

The upcoming Payload for Ultra-high Energy Observations (PUEO) experiment is planned for launch in the 2025/2026 season, and detailed simulation of the experiment is necessary for both the design of the instrument prior to launch, as well as data analysis post-flight. The new simulations package for PUEO builds upon the previously developed IceMC framework that was used by the ANITA experiment, and boasts a new model of the PUEO detector, including descriptions of the response of the antennas, amplification electronics, phased array trigger, and a more accurate parameterization of the Askaryan emission in ice that were not present in previous simulations. This improved simulation framework has since been used to provide a more accurate description of the projected capabilities of the PUEO experiment. Additionally, improvements in scalability and modularity of the codebase ensure that event sources, detector components, and even entirely new detectors can be easily added in the future.
