MRED (Monte Carlo Radiative Energy Deposition) is Vanderbilt University’s Geant4 application for simulating radiation events in semiconductors. Geant4 is comprised of the best available computational physics models for the transport of radiation through matter. Geant4 is a library of c++ routines for describing radiation interaction with matter assembled by a large and diverse international...

An astrophysical system harboring a strong gravity star such as a black hole or a neutron star accretes gas from the circumstellar environment, releasing enormous gravitational energy via accretion onto the deep potential. Since a large fraction of the accretion power is released in a form of X-ray radiation, X-ray spectral and temporal information is an important probe to study the energetic...

The Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) is one of four instruments onboard 6th Japanese X-ray satellite, ASTRO-H, which is scheduled to be launched in FY 2015. Combined with hard X- ray telescopes, the HXI will realize imaging spectroscopy in hard X-ray band ranging from 5 keV to 80 keV with a sensitivity which is two orders of magnitude better than that of Suzaku/HXD. The HXI is composed of a stacked...

The Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) and the Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD), onboard instruments of Japanese 6th X-ray observatory, ASTRO-H, are
surrounded by the large number of BGO (Bi$_4$Ge$_3$O$_{12}$) scintillators for active shielding. These active shields are very important to reduce the
non X-ray background such as cosmic rays and/or gamma-rays from radioisotopes produced by activation of the...

The Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) on board the X-ray astronomical satellite Suzaku consists of four sides of BGO scintillation counters within the Hard X-ray Detector. Thanks to large effective area (800 cm2 at 100 keV) and field of view of ∼ 2π st, the WAM has detected transient objects, such as Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and Solar flares, approximately 300 event per year. However, the WAM...

In this presentation an outline of ESA radiation monitoring instrumentation developments is given, with emphasis on the Geant4 analysis performed in support of the instrument design phase on one hand and on the data analyses efforts on the other hand. Typically, extensive effort is spent on optimising the instrument characteristics with Geant4 and releted radiation engineering tools, while...

Geant4 is a vital tool for understanding and calibrating the response of space-borne radiation sensors at The Aerospace Corporation. In the year since the last Geant4 Space Users' Workshop, we have focused on using the code to continue improving our understanding of the response, both foreground and background, of sensors aboard the Van Allen Probes and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). ...

The sudden closure of the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) has forced the space community to evaluate alternate medical proton cancer therapy center cyclotrons for single event effects (SEE) test in the 200 MeV regime. These new facilities offer increased reliability well adapted to medical needs, but create scheduling and technical challenges for those adapted to IUCF. A team of...

Gold nanoparticles have been reported as possible radio-sensitizer agents in tumor radiation therapy, in particular through the increase of local energy deposition in close vicinity of the nanoparticles and subsequent direct damage to cells and DNA. Moreover, indirect damage originating from the increased production of chemical species induced by such additional energy deposition events around...
