Description

ASTRO-H is an international X-ray observatory scheduled to be launched in 2015. To design a low particle and X-ray background structure and estimate the in-orbit background for observations planning, Geant4 acts as the central engine of the Monte Carlo simulation. Here we will present about the cosmic X-ray background shield study and the comparison between Geant4 ver.10 activation and a beam experiment data in short (1-20 min) time scale.
