20. Simulation of the GAMMA-400 instrument with Geant4

Paolo Cumani (University of Trieste - INFN)

GAMMA-400 is a space mission which will be configured as a dual experiment, dedicated to the study of both CRs and gamma rays with a state-of-the-art imaging Silicon Tracker and a very deep Calorimeter. It will be able to study electrons, protons and nuclei with energy up to knee and gamma rays in the energy range 30 MeV - 1 TeV. The Montecarlo simulation, based on the Geant4 simulation...

16. Radiation modeling of the Particle Environment Package (PEP) for the JUICE mission

Mr Stefan Karlsson (Swedish Institute of Space Physics)

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...

5. Geant4 Simulations of Space Radiation Sensors at The Aerospace Corporation

Dr Mark Looper (The Aerospace Corporation)

Geant4 is a vital tool for understanding and calibrating the response of space-borne radiation sensors at The Aerospace Corporation. For the Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER) sensor aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), we have found Geant4 to be particularly critical in modeling the effects of delta rays (energetic secondary or "knock-on" electrons), which...

53. ASTRO-H Monte Carlo Simulation framework

Dr Masanobu Ozaki (JAXA)

04/03/2013, 12:20

ASTRO-H is next Japanese X-ray astronomy observatory satellite scheduled to be launched in 2015. The orbit is LEO passing through the SAA several times a day, and scientific instruments have sensitivity for not only X-rays but also charged particles. The simulations of detector responses for such incidents and secondaries due to in-orbit activation are thus required forvscientific success,...
