The X-ray background minimization is a science-driven necessity in order to reach deep sensitivity levels, which is one of the key scientific requirements for the New Hard X-ray Mission. As a first, fundamental step in the background evaluation, we developed a Geant4-based simulator that allows to evaluate the impact of the Low Earth Orbit radiation environment on the prompt background count...
