Proton High AMS02 small

The current web calculator allows one to obtain the residual spectral fluence of isotropically distributed protons and ions traversing a spherical shield by exploiting the "SRIM Module.exe" included in SRIM 2013 code (SRIM Tutorials with an upper energy limit of 5 GeV/nucleon), i.e., the used electronic stopping power tables are those provided by SRIM code with a low energy limit of 1 eV. The probabilty distribution of path lenghts in the spherical absorber is obtained by means of a GEANT4 simulation.

EXAMPLE:
Copy and paste the data here to reproduce the following example.
Protons spectral fluence during ESA Juice mission moderated by 50 mils of Al (0.3429 [g cm-2]):

Shield thickness t is set to 0.127 cm (50 mils), sphere radius R to 50 cm and the number of steps to 10. The distance from center is r= R-t. Spectral fluence data are calculated with JOREM Model implemented in SPENVIS assuming a 4 sr solid angle exposure.
Following is the corresponding probability density of traversed path:

NOTE:
  • The lower energy limit is 1 eV
  • The higher energy limit is 5 GeV/nucleon
  • The default traversed path is that for 50 mils of Al
  • The lower limit of traversed path is equivalent to about 5 μm of Si (1.16x10-3 [g cm-2]), e.g., 0.96 cm in Dry Air at sea level with density equal to 1.20484x10-3 g/cm3 (as implemented in SRIM from ICRU-37 table 5.5).
  • Residual energies were obtained disregarding multiple scattering effect, i.e., directions of flight of emerging particles were unchaged with respect to those of impinging directions.
