Abstract
This work is dedicated to the numerical simulation of the instrument JEI for the future ESA’s mission JUICE, as a support for conception and calibration before the beginning of the mission. The first part is dedicated to an introduction to the mission context, where a strong emphasis is given to the scientific phenomena occurring in the Jovian magnetosphere, followed by a complete presentation of the instrument. The first simulation process (In → Out) is described in details and applied to a modeled geometry close to an up-to-date manufactured version of the instrument. In order to answer the main purpose of simulations for instrument conception and calibration, a comparison is performed between numerical and experimental results. A new simulation process (Out → In) is defined and implemented for the needs of the investigation to understand the unexplained differences. Finally, several simulation methods are defined thanks to a general theoretical development and numerically tested in order to compute one of the most important properties of the instrument : the geometric factor. Future investigations for both simulation-experiments comparison and geometric factor computation are suggested in order to help the interpretation of future results.
