Using Geant4 to interpret data from MAVEN's Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) detector.

Speaker

Patrick Dunn (University of California, Berkeley)

Description

Geant4 has been an invaluable tool for understanding the data of MAVEN's Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) instrument. Raw data from SEP consists of two sets of counts across 256 bins. Each bin is essentially a counter corresponding to an event type and energy deposit (to be further explained in the presentation). Simulations were done in Geant4 in order to understand what differential energy flux spectra could produce observed results.
