This paper is the third in a series of comparisons of American (NASA) and Russian (ROSCOSMOS) space radiation calculations. The present work focuses on calculation of fluxes of galactic cosmic rays (GCR), which are a constant source of radiation that constitutes one of the major hazards during deep space exploration missions for both astronauts/cosmonauts and hardware. In this work, commonly used GCR models are compared with recently published measurements of cosmic ray Hydrogen, Helium, and the Boron-to-Carbon ratio from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS). All of the models were developed and calibrated prior to the publication of the AMS data; therefore this an opportunity to validate the models against an independent data set.
本文是对美国(NASA)和俄罗斯(ROSCOSMOS)空间辐射计算的一系列比较的第三部分。本工作重点是计算银河宇宙射线(GCR)通量,这是辐射的恒定源,对于宇航员/航天员和硬件来说,这是深空探索任务中的主要危害之一。在这项工作中,常用的 GCR 模型与最近公布的阿尔法磁谱仪(AMS)测量的宇宙射线氢、氦和硼-碳比进行了比较。所有模型都是在 AMS 数据公布之前开发和校准的;因此,这是一个利用独立数据集验证模型的机会。
