The approximations used for calculating the particle fluence/flux behind the shielding seems to work rather good for protons and neutrons. On the other hand, it is less successful when electrons are considered. This has been somehow expected because of the more complex interactions of the electrons with the shielding. Therefore, the electron results should be used with caution.
For the generation of the look-up tables multiple runs of MULASSIS were required, using different values for the incident particle energy, E0, the total thicknesses of the shield and the Tantalum to Aluminium mass ratio (see Table 1). Hence, some simplifying assumptions have been made:
Also, for the physics scenario standard electromagnetic (EM) processes and hadronic nuclear interactions were considered. Finally, for better Monte Carlo (Geant4 ) simulation results the number of events was assumes to be equal to 107.
The thicknesses of the two layers are calculated automatically and displayed in units of [mm].
The report file spenvis_mfr.txt contains details of the inputs and outputs. The output file spenvis_mfo.txt containing tabulated flux results The output file spenvis_mfm.txt containing binned MULASSIS-like fluence results. For generating the MFLUX output forty six energy bins have been defined, covering an energy spectrum from 0.04 to 1000 [MeV].
