On‐ground Simulation of the Proton Spectrum in Space

2009 
The distribution of proton energy losses in optical parts including optical lenses and mirrors was calculated using SRIM program, based on Mont Carlo method. The effect of proton energy on the optical spectrum of lenses and mirrors was also investigated through irradiation experiments, with the proton energy varying from 0.03 to 1 MeV. An approach of on‐ground simulation of the proton spectrum in space was proposed taking into account the different characteristics of proton spectra in the radiation belt, solar cosmic ray, and galactic cosmic rays in GEO as well as the corresponding distribution of energy loss in optical parts.
