Space radiation and its effects are key design considerations for missions. At JPL, Geant4 is used in a variety of applications including comparisons of total ionizing dose (TID) analyses with other radiation transport codes, estimating an instrument’s response to high energy penetrating radiation, and tracing particle trajectories in magnetic fields. This presentation will give an overview of...
This presentation offers an overview of the recent activities and developments within the European Space Agency (ESA) pertaining to Geant4-based tools. ESA has adopted the use of these tools to support a diverse range of applications, such as validating instrument and detector responses, characterizing background noise in scientific instruments, optimizing space radiation shielding,...
