Issues for Simulation of Galactic Cosmic Ray Exposures for Radiobiological Research at Ground Based Accelerators

For research on the health risks of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) ground-based accelerators have been used for radiobiology research with mono-energetic beams of single high charge, Z and energy, E (HZE) particles. In this paper we consider the pros and cons of a GCR reference field at a particle accel...
