Shielding performance of the 98 first chemical elements against trapped particles on GTO

  • 1. Aalto University

Description

The 1LayerElements.csv file contains the shielding performance results for the first 98 chemical elements against trapped particles in Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).
The material properties are sourced from the Geant4 material database, with materials referenced by their Geant4 material database names
For elements that are gases under normal conditions, the liquified version from the Geant4 database is used if available, denoted by an "l" prefix (e.g., "G4_lH2").
The particle spectra used for this simulation are provided in the files AE9500keV.mac and AP910MeV.mac.
The simulated geometry is provided in the file 1LayerElements.gdml

The particle spectra were generated with the AE9/AP9 models on SPENVIS, with electron energies starting at 500 keV and proton energies starting at 10 MeV.
The simulation was performed with GRAS / Geant4 with the FTFP_BERT physics model using 4.3e+10 electrons and 1e+08 protons directed against slabs of shielding materials of 1.5 g/cm2 depth.
The ionizing dose is recorded in 0.5mm thick silicon plates behind the shielding plates.

Column A: Z-number of the element.
Column B: Name of the material as referenced from the Geant4 material database.
Column C: Ionizing dose due to electrons in units of kRad per month.
Column D: Absolute statistical error in the electron dose due to the statistical nature of the Monte-Carlo simulation in kRad per month.
Column E: ionizing dose due to protons in kRad per month.
Column F: Absolute statistical error in the proton dose in kRad per month. 
Column G: Total ionizing dose from electrons and protons in kRad per month.
Column H: Absolute statistical error in the total ionizing dose in kRad per month. 
Column I: Relative statistical error of the total ionizing dose in per cent.
Column J: Rank of the material sorted from lowest total ionizing dose to highest.
Column K: Rank of the material sorted from lowest electron dose to highest.
Column L: Rank of the material sorted from lowest proton dose to highest.

All dose values are rounded according to their uncertainty.
