title: Dosimetric results on EURECA.
abstract: Detector packages were exposed on the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) as part of the Biostack experiment inside the Exobiology and Radiation Assembly (ERA) and at several locations around EURECA. The packages consist of different plastic nuclear track detectors, nuclear emulsions and thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs). Evaluation of these detectors yields data on absorbed dose and particle and linear energy transfer (LET) spectra. Behind a shielding thickness in front of the detectors of 0.09g cm-2 the doses range between 21.26 Gy and 0.87 Gy depending on the location of the dosimeter. Not all measurement can be explained by calculations.
