Silicon is of great applied interest in the semiconductor industry and in detectors for physics experiments. An increased understanding of neutron induced charged particle producing reactions on silicon is particularly significant not only for basic physics but also for applications.

Monte Carlo simulation tools make use of models to describe the physics of everything that surrounds us. For such tools to be reliable, models as close to reality as possible need to be implemented in the simulation. Nuclear reaction cross-sections play an essential role in simulations for radiation protection in space. Therefore, a GSI-ESA-NASA collaboration project created a collection of...

The damage due to cosmic rays is a serious concern for astronauts, electronics, and spacecraft. Although the cosmic ray flux is comprised mostly of protons and helium nuclei, there is a non-negligible component comprised of heavy-ions up to and including iron nuclei. The importance of the heavy-ion component is enhanced because the damage due to ionization goes as $Z^2$. In addition to the...

The galactic cosmic ray (GCR) background presents creates a hostile, high-dose environment for astronauts and the electronics they rely. While the GCR spectrum extends to 10’s of GeV/nucleon, much of the dose in electronics is attributable to the final slowing of heavy ion at the end of their path, e.g., the “Bragg peak”, and the location and magnitude of the Bragg peak is in turn highly...
