Monte Carlo simulations of solid walled proportional counters with different site size for HZE radiation

Characterizing high z high energy (HZE) particles in cosmic radiation is of importance for the study of the equivalent dose to astronauts. Low pressure, tissue equivalent proportional counters (TEPC) are routinely used to evaluate radiation exposures in space. A multiple detector system composed of...
