Understanding the radiation environment near lunar surface is a key step towards planning for future missions to Moon. However, complex variety of energies and particle types constituting space makes process replicating such very difficult in Earth-based laboratories. Radiation transport codes provide practical alternative covering wider range energy, angle, type than can be experimentally atta...

An algorithm has been developed for the GEANT4 Monte-Carlo package for the efficient computation of screened Coulomb interatomic scattering. It explicitly integrates the classical equations of motion for scattering events, resulting in precise tracking of both the projectile and the recoil target nucleus. The algorithm permits the user to plug in an arbitrary screening function, such as Lens-Je...

Statement of the problem or situation that is being addressed typically, one to three sentences. Physics experiments often use low-energy beams of unstable particles that stop in a target in order to provide high sensitivity to rare processes while reducing backgrounds. However, the stopping rate in the target is limited by the kinematics of the production process and by multiple scattering and...

The depth-dose distribution of proton beams in materials currently used in dosimetry measurements, such as liquid water, PMMA or graphite are calculated with the SEICS (Simulation of Energetic Ions and Clusters through Solids) code, where all the relevant effects in the evaluation of the energy deposited by the beam in the target are included, such as electronic energy-loss (including energy-lo...
