Measurement of LET distribution and absorbed dose from secondary particles on board the spacecraft.
Experimental technique for the measurement of linear energy transfer (LET) distribution and absorbed dose from the secondary particles of space radiation is considered. High sensitive nuclear emulsion detector is used for identification of nuclear fragments produced in nuclear interactions and recoil protons from elastic (n,p) scattering. The contribution of secondaries of different origin to the total LET spectrum is estimated.
