Tissue-Specific Dose Equivalents of Secondary Mesons and Leptons during Galactic Cosmic Ray Exposures for Mars Exploration

2023-12-14

Abstract excerpt

During a human mission to Mars, astronauts would be continuously exposed to galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) consisting of high energy protons and heavier ions coming from outside our solar system. Due to their high energy, GCR ions can penetrate spacecraft and space habitat structures, directly reaching human organs. Additionally, they generate secondary particles when interacting with shielding materials and human ti...
