Times Cited Count：14 Percentile：81.7(Environmental Sciences)Cosmic-ray dose rates spatially and temporally change very much. In this study, we compared the calculated cosmic-ray environments on the Earth, Moon, and Mars as well as inside spacecraft on low-earth orbit (LEO) and at interplanetary space. In the calculation, a galactic cosmic-ray model developed in DLR and trapped proton/electron models AP9/AE9 were used for determining the incident cosmic-ray fluxes, and the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System, PHITS, was employed for the cosmic-ray transport simulation in the Earth, Lunar, and Martian systems as well as spacecraft. The virtual International Space Station (ISS) model developed by JAXA was adopted as the representative of spacecraft in the PHITS simulation. This paper focuses on the comprehensive discussions on the difference of cosmic-ray environments and the effective methods of their shielding in various exposure situations.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Environmental Sciences)A high efficiency proton recoil telescope (PRT), which consists of a radiator, a 
E detector and an E detector, was developed to determine the neutron fluence in the 14.8 MeV mono-energetic neutron field at the FRS. A 2 mm thick plastic scintillation detector was employed as the radiator to increase the detection efficiency and compensate the energy loss of the recoil proton in the radiator. A thin and a thick silicon detectors with 150 
m and 3 mm thick sensitive layers were employed as the E and E detectors, respectively. The detection efficiency was evaluated by the neutron measurements in the 14.8 MeV field for the distances from the radiator to E detector of 50 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm. The detection efficiency increases up to 3.7 
10
with the decrease in the distance, which is roughly a few orders of magnitude greater than those of common PRTs. These detection efficiencies are high enough to determine the neutron fluence at the 14.8 MeV field within a few hours.
