Compton polarimeter (Compol) is an instrument onboard a 3U CubeSat dedicated to measuring the polarization of gamma-ray sources. Here, we discuss the performance of the instrument pin gamma-ray burst (GRB) polarization measurements based on one layer of 3 mm x 3 mm x 6 mm gadolinium aluminum gallium garnet (GAGG) scintillator, with each layer being a 16 x 16 array. Additionally, four layers of double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSDs) sit on top of the scintillator (Model 1-2, Yang et al. 2020). Using Monte-Carlo simulations with Megalib toolkit, we can determine the minimum detectable polarization (MDP) of our detector. The MDP of the model will be presented in this poster, and the MDP of another model with different designs will be presented in Chung’s poster. For other characteristics (i.e. efficiency), it is discussed in Hsiang’s oral
