9. Advancing Radiation Hazard Simulation in Spacecraft Environments Using GEANT4 Integrated in SPENVIS

M. Laura Sorgi Johann (Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University)

Through the utilization of the GEANT4 tool integrated into SPENVIS, I aim to demonstrate the practicality and efficacy of simulating radiation hazards within spacecrafts orbiting in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This research has two primary objectives: first, to assess the accuracy of these simulations by comparing them with historical dose assessments conducted on the International Space Station...

1. Introduction to the FreeCAD GDML Workbench

The GDML Workbench (https://github.com/KeithSloan/GDML) is an optional workbench available for the open source project FreeCAD (https://www.freecad.org). Geometry created within FreeCAD can be exported as a GDML file (for reading by Geant4); the workbench also can also import GDML files for viewing/editing. All the GDML geometry primitives are supported, plus several useful FreeCAD constructs,...

18. New Geant4 model to simulate ultra-thin crystalline electromagnetic calorimeters for novel ultrahigh-sensitive gamma-ray space telescopes

Ultra-thin electromagnetic calorimeters exploiting electromagnetic processes in oriented crystals [1, 2] is a smart solution for gamma-ray space telescopes opening wide prospects for gamma-ray astronomy, in particular for the search of dark matter annihilation. Namely, these calorimeters allow to considerably reduce both the dimension and weight of gamma-ray space telescopes as well as to make...
