The designing of radiation shields for manned space vehicles and for high-energy accelerators requires a knowledge of the nucleon-meson cascade that develops when a high-energy particle enters matter. The accuracy with which calculations of the nucleon-meson cascade can be made is to a large extent determined by the available information on particle production from nuclear reactions. The accuracy with which an effective shield can be designed is also determined by the available information on the biological effects of radiation.
载人航天器和高能加速器的辐射屏蔽设计需要了解高能粒子进入物质时发展的核子-介子级联。核子-介子级联计算的准确性在很大程度上取决于核反应中粒子产生的可用信息。有效屏蔽的设计精度也取决于辐射生物效应的可用信息。
