Estimation of hadronic NIEL contribution is included in the latest update of test58 (10.4 version) available for download at the following link.

SR-NIEL hadronic value is calculated from tabulated value in every step of the simulated interactions, triggered by electromagnetic interactions. Tables are available for protons and alpha particles in elements with 4<z<51 and every possible compounds.

In test58 users can choose to activate the hadronic estimation with the following command to use in macro file:

/testem/phys/setNIELHadronic ON

Some tests were performed for protons with common compound semiconductors as target:

GaAs Graph

GaN Graph

SiC Graph
