Shielding design of spacecrafts using PHITS

Sato, Tatsuhiko ; Sihver, L.*; Gustafsson, K.*; Mancusi, D.*; Niita, Koji*

Accurate particle and heavy ion transport codes are required for estimating the radiation risk for personnel and electronic equipment on spacecrafts, as well as estimating the effects of different shielding materials. We are therefore developing and benchmarking a general purpose Monte Carlo code PHITS, which can deal with the transports of all kinds of hadrons and heavy ions with energies up to 200 GeV/n.
