Abstract: Long term high energy electron irradiation may affect performance of the Si-PIN semiconductor detector (SSD).In order to assess the life of the detector in space radiation environment, electron irradiation source was used to simulate space electron environment, and the irradiation experiments were carried out on the semiconductor detector. Experiment results show that under the radiation dose of 7.64×1014, the SSD’s energy response capability had not changed, and the counting efficiency slightly decreased. As the radiation dose increased, the leakage current of the SSD increased, but the noise was relatively stable, and the performance of the detector did not affect the work index of the load.

Abstract: Radiation risk of astronauts during the flight in low earth orbit (LEO) and deep space exploration is mainly from the exposure of galactic cosmic ray (GCR). The radiation dose from GCR is the basis for the assessment of astronauts' radiation risk. In 2013, a new estimation method for the assessment of astronauts' radiation dose was presented by the International Committee on Radiological Protection (ICRP), so as to improve the assessment's accuracy of the radiation dose from heavy ions in space. Based on this method, a Monte Carlo program was developed for simulation of the particle transportation in materials and a voxel phantom of Chinese adult male was realized in this program to represent the astronaut. With this program, the fluence to dose conversion coefficients for the organs of astronauts were calculated for the isotropic exposure by particles with the atomic number from 1 to 92. The radiation dose to astronauts in LEO from GCR was also estimated. �2015, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA). All right reserved.

Abstract: In the measurement of space particle, the interference caused by the particles is an important factor of the measure accuracy decline in the space particle detection, Anti-coincidence cup technology is an important means to eliminate particle interference. The paper introduces the origin of spatial interference particles and theory of anti-coincidence cup measuring system.An output pulse readout circuit based on A225F is designed, achieving in reshaping the quasi-Gaussian waveform at a high counting rate.The details of the application of A225F is described in the paper.The simulation and experimental results prove the reasonableness of the design.
