Shielding effectiveness of different polymers and low-density hydrides in a combined radiation shield for crewed interplanetary space missions

Md Abdullah Al Zaman et al.

Summary: The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined radiation shield containing an active toroidal shield and a layer of passive shield made of different polymers or low-density hydrides. The shielding properties of the materials were investigated using Monte Carlo simulations and calculations. The results show that low-density hydrides demonstrate better radiation shielding capability than the polymers.

Galactic cosmic ray simulation at the NASA space radiation laboratory-Progress, challenges and recommendations on mixed-field effects

Janice L. Huff et al.

Summary: For missions to the moon or Mars, space explorers will face a complex radiation field with various ion species and energies. The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) has developed an innovative galactic cosmic ray simulator (GCRsim) to simulate the space radiation environment and study biological risks. The GCRsim consists of 33 ion beams that simulate the primary and secondary GCR fields encountered in space. A recent virtual workshop assessed the status of the GCRsim, discussing its design and beam selection strategies. This information is important for advancements in space radiobiology.

Simulation of atmospheric cosmic-rays and their impacts based on pre-calculated databases, physical models and computational methods

G. Hubert et al.

Summary: The atmospheric cosmic-ray environment consists of secondary particles produced by primary cosmic rays interacting with atmospheric atoms. Modeling atmospheric radiations is crucial for studying their impacts on human activities and scientific fields. The computational platform ATMOS CORE is introduced, which is based on pre-calculated databases coupled with physical models and computational methods. Applications include characterizing atmospheric cosmic-rays and studying their effects on electronics systems, aircrews' exposure, and cosmogenic nuclide production for dating activities. Comparisons between simulations and measurements are also presented and discussed.

GGS: A Generic Geant4 Simulation package for small- and medium-sized particle detection experiments

Nicola Mori

Summary: The Generic Geant4 Simulation (GGS) package is designed to accelerate the implementation and deployment of Monte Carlo simulation software based on Geant4 for small- and medium-sized high-energy experiments. It simplifies the task of setting up a full-featured detector simulation by providing generic and reusable implementations of mandatory Geant4 user classes. Additionally, it offers extensibility through a simple plugin system, allowing users to replace the generic implementations with custom ones.
