4. SPENVIS Interface to Geant4-based tools

Dr Neophytos Messios (BIRA-IASB)

05/03/2013, 09:00

By now, the importance of Geant4 models in the planning of space and planetary exploration missions is well established. Their applications range from instrument and detector response verification, space radiation shielding optimisation, component effects, support of scientific studies to the analysis of biological effects and astronaut radiation hazards. For the last years, the web-based...

23. A Three-Dimensional Simulator for Internal-Charging Effect

Dr Chen Shen (Ke Jing Da Electronics Ltd)

05/03/2013, 09:20

In this abstract, we report a three-dimensional simulator for the internal charging effect. The simulator is developed according to the requirements and technical specifications designed by the CSSC. It uses Geant4 for electron transport calculation, and a 3D PDE solver for charge transport and electrical field calculation. Preliminary result from the solver is presented, with current...

55. Geant4 tools and interfaces from ELSHIELD project

Mr Sergio Ibarmia (INTA)

05/03/2013, 09:40

In the framework of the ESA funded project "Energetic Electron Shielding, Charging and Radiation Effects (ELSHIELD)", a series of activities were performed to improve exiting Geant4 capabilities and develop new tools and interfaces, all of them related to the estimation of the impact of energetic electrons on space systems. The resulting improvements from these Geant4 activities will be...

49. An Introduction of the REST-SIM Simulation Framework

Dr Fan Lei (RadMod Research)

05/03/2013, 10:00

REST-SIM is a software simulation framework bringing together mission orbit and space environment specification, spacecraft and payload geometry definition, radiation transport simulation and radiation effects analysis. It has been developed to support the development and execution of ESA’s Cosmic Vision Missions. The framework can be used throughout a whole mission life cycle, starting from...

54. Review of Reverse/Adjoint Monte Carlo mode in Geant4

Mr Laurent Desorgher Desorgher (Paul Scherrer Institut)

05/03/2013, 10:20

Monte Carlo code as Geant4 in their forward unbiased simulation mode are the most precise for computing the radiation effects in space components of payloads and spacecraft. However it takes most of the time a huge amount of computing time to achieve a good statistical precision of the simulation results, as the components where the dose is computed are very small compared to...
