Installation and Operation of Particle Transport Simulation Programs to Model the Detection and Measurement of Space Radiation of Space-Borne Sensors
Abstract
This document is a report of the technical progress made during the period 10 Aug. 1999 - 31 July 2000 in the areas of: (1) research and evaluation of particle transport simulation programs for modeling the detection and measurement of space radiation by space-borne sensors; (2) construction of realistic flight sensor computer models; (3) performance of particle transport calculations; (4) analysis of transport simulation results, including single particle tracking; (5) transfer and facilitation in the implementation of particle transport simulation technology to AFRL. Several computer programs (LAHET, ACCEPT, CYLTRAN, MCNPX) for particle transport simulation were applied to the modeling of the CEASE and HEP sensors. In addition, a preliminary version of a post-processor program for analysis of single particle histories from MCNPX was written. Shown in this report are several listings of input files, with geometry/materials drawings, for the various simulation programs, an example of (excerpt from) a track file analysis, and partial listings of code outputs.
