Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System

JAXA super computer system was used for the fast simulation calculations using Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS).

Achievements of the Year

To evaluate doses on the D-Space dosimeter installed on the OMOTENASHI, the geometries were prepared for both OMOTENASHI and D-Space, and the doses at the Si sensors placing inside the dosimeter were calculated under the isotropic irradiation of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). In the calculation process, effects such as Coulomb scattering and energy dispersion of charged particles were added to the program. As a result, it was suggested that the effect of Coulomb scattering of charged particles other than protons and positrons has the most influence on the calculation results and is an important parameter.
