Exposure to space radiation and the associated health risks pose a major challenge to the growth of deep space exploration. The effects of such radiation on electronics and shielding have been studied in considerable detail and have led to novel methods and design strategies for minimizing equipment failure and developing hardening strategies. Similar efforts to better understand the effects...

In this talk we will describe a joint project between Stanford University, SLAC, KEK and NVIDIA for the development of a radiation therapy simulation system based on Geant4 physics that runs on GPUs.
The system is capable of performing radiation simulation with electron and gamma primaries on voxelised geometries for the calculation of deposited dose in the voxels.
The methodology...
