G4MRES (Geant4 for Mission Radiation Effects Simulation), developed under the framework of SEISOP (Space Environment Information System for Operations) project, is designed, as an advanced tool, to cover the lack of data linking the Space Weather conditions and the direct effects on S/C sensitive components.
The final objective of G4MRES is the design of an operational tool capable to...

We have calculated how the radiation environment in a habitat on the surface of the Moon depends on the thickness of a habitat in the 1977 galactic cosmic-ray environment. Geant4.9.1 was used, and a hemispherical dome made of lunar regolith was used to simulate the lunar habitat. We have investigated the effective dose from both primary and secondary particles. The total effective dose showed...

The GAPS experiment is foreseen to carry out a dark matter search using low energy cosmic ray antideuterons (< 0.3GeV/n) at stratospheric altitudes using a novel detection approach. The theoretically predicted antideuteron flux resulting from secondary interactions of primary cosmic rays, e.g. protons, with the interstellar medium is very low. So far not a single cosmic antideuteron has been...

A few commercial airlines now operate ultra-long-haul flights from Asia to America. Recent concerns have been raised related to the dose exposure of crews on these high latitude routes which fly close to the North Pole. We present in this talk a proposal to model with Geant4 the radiation environment encountered in such ultra-long-haul flights. This includes the modeling of the interaction of...

The International X-ray Observatory (IXO) is a planned high sensity
next-generation X-ray telescope, jointly built by ESA, NASA and JAXA,
which is projected to be launched in the 2020 timeframe. The main
scientific goals of IXO include the study of AGN, the
diffuse x-ray background as well as accretion discs around black holes and
neutron stars which will aid the understanding of cosmic...
