Effects of MCNP Model Resolution on Predicting Water Equivalent Thickness of Nanocomposite Materials in High-Energy Proton Fields

Creator:

Freilich, Justina A. M.

Abstract:

Manned missions beyond low-Earth orbit present tremendous, multifaceted radiological challenges. The deep space radiation environment contains high-energy protons and heavy ions, which are not sufficiently shielded by the aluminum alloys that have historically been used in spacecraft. To address these shielding concerns, polymer-based nanocomposites have been proposed. Radiation transport simulations...
