Simulations of MATROSHKA experiment outside the ISS using PHITS

The radiation environment at the altitude of the International Space Station (ISS) is substantially different than anything typically encountered on Earth in both the character of the radiation field and the significantly higher dose rates. Concerns about the biological effects on humans of this highly complex natural radiation field are increasing due to higher amount of astronauts performing long-duration missions onboard the ISS and especially if looking into planned future manned missions to Mars. In order to begin the process of predicting the dose levels seen by the organs of an astronaut, being the prerequisite for radiation risk calculations, it is necessary to understand the character of the radiation environment both in- and outside of the ISS as well as the relevant contributions from the radiation field to the organ doses.     

真空100 keV质子辐照对石墨膜热性能的影响

研究了25 μm石墨膜在能量100 keV最大注量2.5×10¹⁵ p/cm²的真空质子辐照条件下的微观结构和热性能，采用拉曼光谱（Raman spectrum）、X射线衍射（XRD）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）进行微观结构分析，采用激光闪射法（LFA）进行热性能分析。石墨膜晶面间距为0.335 83 nm，石墨化度为95.0%。结果发现，质子辐照会导致石墨膜表层产生缺陷，片层间距增大，石墨化度降低，氧含量升高；随着质子辐照注量的增加，Raman光谱中D和G峰的积分面积比表明缺陷密度不断增加。25 μm石墨膜经过能量为100 keV注量为2.5×10¹⁵ p/cm²质子辐照后，石墨膜热扩散系数无明显变化。
