Geant4 Monte Carlo Simulations of the International Space Station Radiation Environment

A detailed characterization of the proton and neutron induced radiation environment onboard Columbus and the International Space Station (ISS) has been carried out using the Geant4 Monte Carlo particle transport toolkit. Dose and dose equivalent rates, as well as penetrating particle spectra corresp...
