Dose measurement algorithms and formulas*
From each detector the energy deposition spectrum for a measurement cycle is recorded in two 256 channel sub-ranges. Then the overall energy deposition spectrum is constructed in 512 channels. The energy ΔE deposited in the detector is proportional to the value k1å(iNi)+k2å(jNj), and the incident particle flux is proportional to åNi.+åNj. Here i and j are the spectral channel numbers in the two sub-ranges (lowLET and highLET), Ni and Nj are the amounts of particles registered in channels i and j of the corresponding sub-ranges, and k1 and k2 are normalization coefficients. The values å(iNi), å(jNj), åNi, åNj are recorded for given time intervals and are used for calculation of the doses and particle fluxes rates.
The absorbed dose in the detector is calculated as D = ΔE/m,
where m is the mass of the detector.
The energy deposition spectrum measured in the D1 detector in coincidence mode with D2 is recorded and used to obtain the LET spectrum. Since the incidence angle of the particles is not measured, the energy deposition is converted into a mean LET in silicon as: LET(Sii) = ΔEi/hD1
where ΔEi is the deposited energy in channel i, LET (Sii) is the LET in silicon in channel i (here i is from 1 to 512) and hD1 is the thickness of D1. Calculations show that the dependence of the effective area of the telescope on the particle incident angle is practically linear and decreases from 2.324 сm2 at 0o between the telescope axis and flux to 0 сm2 at 40.7o. The average increase of the particle range in the detector in the case of incidence not parallel to the axis is 7%.
The LET spectra in silicon are used for calculation of the differential and integral LET spectra in water, the absorbed dose rates and the quality factors. The energy deposition in water is taken to be 1.24. LET (H2O) is then found by the following relation:
LET (H2O) = 1.24xLET (Si) /2.34 (6)
Taking into account that the relation between LET (H2O) and LET (Si) changes with proton energy Ep from 1.27 for Ep =30 MeV to 1.21 for Ep = 1000 MeV and that for a typical energy Ep = 100 MeV the conversion coefficient is 1.24, the maximum difference of LET (H2O) obtained by using a real conversion function and the simple conversion factor is less than 3%.
To obtain the dose of the isotopically incident particles from the dose measured by the D1-D2 telescope, the dose calculated from the D1-D2 coincidence spectrum is multiplied by a correction coefficient of 13.5.
Full text data string description
Date/Time (DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss); mode of operation; “1” means Standard mode - dose and flux rates have a time resolution of 90 s, the cycle of measurement of energy deposition spectra and LET spectra is 90 min. “2” means Fast mode - dose and flux rates have a time resolution of 20 s, energy deposition spectra and LET spectra are constructed for every 15 min of measurements. This mode is used for measurements in the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) or during Solar Particle Events; ascending or descending (A/D); altitude (ALT) (km) longitude (LONG) (deg); latitude (LAT) (deg); L value (L); total magnetic field strength (BMAG) (Gauss); INVLAT (invariant latitude) (deg); LT (local time) (hours); MLT (magnetic local time) (hours); absorbed dose rate1D* (DOSE) (mGy h-1); ); absorbed dose rate2D (DOSE) (mGy h-1);); absorbed dose rate3D (DOSE) (mGy h-1); flux1D (FLUX) (cm-2 s-1); flux2D (FLUX) (cm-2 s-1); flux3D (FLUX) (cm-2 s-1); (*1D means first detector).
