Description
Particle Environment Package (PEP) is a particle instrument being proposed for the ESA JUICE mission (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) aiming to conduct plasma and neutral gas measurements in the harsh radiation environment of Jupiter. In connection with the JUICE payload Announce of Opportunity extensive radiation analysis of the PEP sensors was performed using GRAS (Geant4 Radiation Analysis for Space), SSAT (Sectoring Shielding Analysis Tool) and others tool available through the SPENVIS interface. Most of the simulation work was performed on small and large scale cluster computation facilities. This presentation describes the simulation infrastructure, methods and some of the result from this analysis work.
