Installation and Operation of Particle Transport Simulation Programs to Model the Detection and Measurement of Space Radiation by Space-Borne Sensors
Abstract
This document is a report of the work performed during the period 10 Aug 1999 - 31 Aug 2003 in the areas of: (1) research, evaluation and adaptation of particle transport simulation programs for modeling the detection and measurement of space radiation by space-borne sensors; (2) the transfer of this particle transport simulation capability to the Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Weather Center of Excellence (AFRL/VSBXR); (3) construction of realistic flight sensor computer models; (4) performance of particle transport calculations; (5) space-borne dosimeter simulation studies; and (6) studies of scattering of grazing incidence protons from surfaces of material constituents of space-borne X-ray telescopes. The computer programs ITS-ACCEPT and MCNPX were applied to the modeling of the CEASE and HEP sensors, and the CRRES dosimeter. This document also summarizes our collaboration in research leading to the publication of two technical papers.
