Simulated shielding performance of 1296 four-layer permutations of six common satellite and radiation shielding materials against trapped particles on GTO

The 4Layer.csv file contains ionizing dose results of simulating the shielding performance of all 1296 four-layer permutations of six common satellite and radiation shielding materials against trapped particles on GTO. The materials are the aluminium alloy 7075 (Al_7075), polyethylene (G4_POLYETHYLENE), kevlar (G4_KEVLAR), tungsten (G4_W), stainless steel (G4_STAINLESS_STEEL) and the circuit board composite material FR4 (FR4). 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 4Layer.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 6.6e+10 electrons and 3.8e+09 protons directed against slabs of shielding materials of 1.5 g/cm2 total depth with each of the four layers being 0.375 g/cm2 in depth. The ionizing dose is recorded in 0.5mm thick silicon plates behind the shielding plates. Column A: ID of the material combination Column B: Name of the top layer material. Column C: Name of the second layer material. Column D: Name of the third layer material. Column E: Name of the bottom layer material.
