11 Sep 2007 | Abstract: | The high energy ionizing radiation environment in the solar system consists
of three main sources: the radiation belts, galactic cosmic rays and solar
energetic particles. Geant4 is a Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation
toolkit, with applications in areas as high energy physics, nuclear physics,
astrophysics or medical physics research. In this poster, Geant4 applications
to model and study the effects of the heliospheric radiation environment are
presented. Specific applications are being developed to study the effect of the
radiation environment on detector components, to describe the response and to
optimise the design of radiation monitors for future space missions and to
predict the radiation environment in Mars surface, orbits and moons. | Source: | arXiv, 0709.1641 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
