Installation and Operation of Particle Transport Simulation Programs to Model the Detection and Measurement of Space Radiation by Space-Borne Sensors

摘要

This document is a report of the technical progress made during the period 01 Aug. 2001 - 31 July 2002 in the areas of: (1) research, evaluation and adaptation of particle transport simulation programs for modeling the detection and measurement of space radiation by space-borne sensors; (2) construction Of realistic flight sensor computer models; (3) performance of particle transport calculations; (4) space-borne dosimeter simulation studies; (5) studies of scattering of grazing incidence protons from surfaces of material constituents of space-borne X-ray telescopes. The computer programs ITS/ACCEPT and MCNPX were applied to the modeling of the CEASE and HEP sensors. Shown in this report are listings of input and output files, with geometry/materials drawings, for the various simulation programs, annotated computer code listings showing program modifications, and partial listings of computer code outputs.
