[217] Proton Spectrum Import
Import trapped proton or solar proton spectra from
other sources, for example the CRRESPRO software, into Space Radiation.
This package contains two modules for importing text files containing proton
spectra. The proton spectra may then be used in all other Space Radiation
functions including radiation transport, dose-depth curves,
solar cell damage equivalents,
and proton-induced single event upsets.
- Solar Proton Import
- Use this function to import spectra specified outside the magnetosphere.
for example, protons from solar flare events. Spectra are then subject to
geomagnetic shielding appropriate for any orbit of interest.
- Trapped Proton Import
- Use this function to import spectra that do not require additional
geomagnetic shielding, including trapped protons and proton spectra from
artificial sources. Of particular interest is import of results from the CRRESPRO
software.1
In both cases the import function provides options that will simplify the
import procedure and increase its utility:
- Files may be either integral or binned (histogram)
spectra.
- A conversion factor is provided for translating your fluence units into protons/cm².
- A conversion factor is provided for translating your energy units into MeV.
- Optional mission duration may be specified.
