MODELLING OF AIRCREW RADIATION EXPOSURE DURING SOLAR PARTICLE EVENTS

摘要

A transport code analysis using the Monte Carlo N-Particle extended code, MCNPX, has been used to propagate an extrapolated particle spectrum based on satellite measurements through the atmosphere to estimate radiation exposure during solar storms at high altitudes. Neutron monitor count rate data from stations around the world were used to benchmark the model calculations during a Ground Level Event. A comparison was made between the model predictions and actual flight measurements taken with various types of instruments used to measure the mixed radiation field during GLE 60. A computer-code has been developed to implement the model for routine analysis.
