Description

The total absorbed dose at the whole water phantom behind targets such as Polyethylene, Aluminum, Water and Carbon fiber have also been calculated using the Geant4 simulation code. Total and the different secondary particles dose depth distribution are estimated in the water phantom by Monte-Carlo simulation of particle transportation. The calculated results are analysed, compared, and discussed. The results show polyethylene is the best space radiation shielding material for a given areal density, followed the water, carbon fiber, and aluminum. And some of the calculation results are in good agreement with the NASA space radiation laboratory test results. (authors)
