Title Ground Albedo Neutron Impacts to Seasonal Variations of Cosmic-Ray-Induced Neutron in Medium Geomagnetic Latitude and Antarctica: Impacts on Soft Error Rate Type Journal

Abstract This paper investigates the impact of ground albedo neutrons in the terrestrial radiation field and their seasonal variations. A modeling methodology is proposed, it is based on ATMORAD (atmospheric shower modeling) and GEANT4 simulations taking into account the soil characteristics and hydrogen content. This method was validated thanks to neutron measurements performed in two high altitude stations located in medium geomagnetic latitude and Antarctica (Pic-du-Midi and Concordia, respectively). Thus, the chemical rock composition, the density, the water content and the snow pack impacts to neutron spectrum were investigated. Simulated and measured spectra were compared. Analyses show that variations are dominant in the thermal domain (i.e. En <;0.5 eV) and lesser degree in epithermal and evaporation domains (i.e. 0.5 eV <; En <;0.1 MeV and 0.1 MeV <; En <;20 MeV, respectively). The last part investigates the impact induced by the evaporation neutron contribution to Single Event Rate (more impacted by the ground albedo neutron). Results show that evaporation neutrons contribution to the total SER should be assessed for high-sensitive technologies.

Title Modeling of ground albedo neutrons to investigate seasonal cosmic ray‐induced neutron variations measured at high‐altitude stations Type Journal
Year 2017 Publication Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 121 Issue 12 Pages 12,186-12,201
Keywords albedo neutron cosmic ray spectrometer
Abstract Abstract This paper investigates seasonal cosmic ray?induced neutron variations measured over a long?term period (from 2011 to 2016) in both the high?altitude stations located in medium geomagnetic latitude and Antarctica (Pic?du?Midi and Concordia, respectively). To reinforce analysis, modeling based on ground albedo neutrons simulations of extensive air showers and the solar modulation potential was performed. Because the local environment is well known and stable over time in Antarctica, data were used to validate the modeling approach. A modeled scene representative to the Pic?du?Midi was simulated with GEANT4 for various hydrogen properties (composition, density, and wet level) and snow thickness. The orders of magnitudes of calculated thermal fluence rates are consistent with measurements obtained during summers and winters. These variations are dominant in the thermal domain (i.e., En??20?MeV) is weakly impacted. The role of hydrogen content on ground albedo neutron generation was investigated with GEANT4 simulations. These investigations focused to mountain environment; nevertheless, they demonstrate the complexity of the local influences on neutron fluence rates.

Title Extensive air shower Monte Carlo modeling at the ground and aircraft flight altitude in the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly and comparison with neutron measurements Type Journal
Year 2017 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 88 Issue Pages 17-29
Keywords Extensive air shower modeling Flight altitude Geant4 MCNPX Monte Carlo method simulation South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly
Abstract Modeling cosmic-ray-induced particle fluxes in the atmosphere is very important for developing many applications in aeronautics, space weather and on ground experimental arrangements. There is a lack of measurements and modeling at flight altitude and on ground in the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly. In this work we have developed an application based on the Geant4 toolkit called gPartAt that is aimed at the analysis of extensive air shower particle spectra. Another application has been developed using the MCNPX code with the same approach in order to evaluate the models and nuclear data libraries used in each application. Moreover, measurements were performed to determine the ambient dose equivalent rate of neutrons at flight altitude in different regions and dates in the Brazilian airspace; these results were also compared with the simulations. The results from simulations of the neutron spectra at ground level were also compared to data from a neutron spectrometer in operation since February 2015 at the Pico dos Dias Observatory in Brazil, at 1864m above sea level, as part of a collaboration between the Institute for Advanced Studies (IEAv) and the French Aerospace Lab (ONERA). This measuring station is being operated with support from the National Astrophysics Laboratory (LNA). The modeling approaches were also compared to the AtmoRad computational platform, QARM, EXPACS codes and with measurements of the neutron spectrum taken in 2009 at the Pico dos Dias Observatory.

Title Neutron monitors and muon detectors for solar modulation studies: 2. ϕ time series Type Journal
Year 2017 Publication Advances in Space Research Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 60 Issue 4 Pages 833-847
Keywords Cosmic rays Muon detector Neutron monitor Solar modulation
Abstract The level of solar modulation at different times (related to the solar activity) is a central question of solar and galactic cosmic-ray physics. In the first paper of this series, we have established a correspondence between the uncertainties on ground-based detectors count rates and the parameter ϕ (modulation level in the force-field approximation) reconstructed from these count rates. In this second paper, we detail a procedure to obtain a reference ϕ time series from neutron monitor data. We show that we can have an unbiased and accurate ϕ reconstruction (Δϕ/ϕ≃10%). We also discuss the potential of Bonner spheres spectrometers and muon detectors to provide ϕ time series. Two by-products of this calculation are updated ϕ values for the cosmic-ray database and a web interface to retrieve and plot ϕ from the 50’s to today (http://lpsc.in2p3.fr/crdb).

Title Atmospheric Cosmic-Ray Variation and Ambient Dose Equivalent Assessments Considering Ground Level Enhancement Thanks to Coupled Anisotropic Solar Cosmic Ray and Extensive Air Shower Modeling Type Journal
Year 2017 Publication Radiation Research Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 188 Issue 5 Pages 597-611
Keywords
Abstract This work investigates the impact of Forbush decrease (FD) and ground-level enhancement (GLE) in the atmosphere, based on solar and galactic cosmic-ray models and the extensive air shower simulations. This approach gives the possibility to investigate both the dynamic behavior of neutron monitors (NM) (using response function) and the flight dose. The ambient dose equivalent during quiet solar activity and solar events (i.e., FDs and GLEs) were investigated for realistic flight plans issued from the Eurocontrol Demand Data Repository. The calculated ambient dose equivalents were compared with flight measurements in quiet solar conditions; comparisons are relevant and demonstrate the ability to estimate the dose level. The GLE model was validated for the GLEs 5 and 69 using the cosmic-ray variation recorded by NMs. The GLE model was applied to flight dose calculations. All of these results show that dose values vary drastically with the route path (latitude, longitude and altitude) and with the delay between the flight departure and the solar event occurrence. Doses induced by extreme GLE events were investigated specifically for London to New York flights, and resulting additional doses are a few hundred or 1,000 μSv, impacting significantly the annual effective dose. This highlights the importance of monitoring extreme solar events and using realistic semi-empirical and particle transport methods for reliable calculation of dose levels.

Title Analysis of the angular distribution of cosmic-ray-induced particles in the atmosphere based on Monte Carlo simulations including the influence of the Earth's magnetic field Type Journal
Year 2017 Publication Astroparticle Physics Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 97 Issue Pages 106-117
Keywords Angular distribution of the extensive air shower Flight altitude Monte Carlo method simulation South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly
Abstract Several applications exist that calculate cosmic-ray-induced particle (CRIP) spectra as a function of the altitude in the atmosphere. In general, the Earth's magnetic field is only used to modulate the primary cosmic radiation that arrives at the top of the atmosphere, but it can also modulate low-energy charged particles at flight altitudes. The effects of the Earth's magnetic field on the angular distributions of CRIP transport in the atmosphere should be quantified, because it furnishes important data for the development of applications for aircrew radiation protection, onboard dosimetry and the simulation of irradiation of sensitive equipment and particle detector systems used at ground level, flight and atmospheric balloon altitudes. In this work we calculate the angular distribution of the cosmic-ray-induced particles (CRIP) for altitudes from ground level up to 80 km using an application based on Geant4 developed in previous works. In order to quantify the effects of the Earth's magnetic field (EMF) on the angular distribution of the CRIP, the calculations were carried out both including the EMF in the South Atlantic Magnetic region and omitting it. A part of these results were compared with analytical calculations of the ratio between the mean free path of the primary particles from the cosmic radiation and the deflection radii at different altitudes in the atmosphere. The albedos of neutrons and protons at 80 km were estimated and compared with the QARM and ATMORAD codes, which ignore the Earth's magnetic field.

Title Conservation and Management of Antarctic Silverfish Pleuragramma antarctica Populations and Habitats Type Book
Year 2017 Publication The Antarctic Silverfish: a Keystone Species in a Changing Ecosystem Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume Issue Pages 287-305
Keywords
Abstract One of the main conservation objectives for marine systems is to identify areas of ecological importance for biodiversity and essential species habitats which can be used as scientific reference areas for monitoring global change in the absence of major human impacts. The Antarctic silverfish, Pleuragramma antarctica is a keystone pelagic species, that has been assessed on the IUCN Red list of threatened species as a species with “Least Concern”. However, this species is unique as it is placed at one extreme of the notothenioid evolutionary/ecological axis that ranges from benthic to secondary pelagic life style. Its different life stages occur in unique environments such as the platelet ice for eggs, some of the inner shelf canyons for young larvae and at the shelf break with Antarctic krill swarms for juveniles and adults. The winter habitats are not known. In addition to the effects of climate change, a threat to this species is its bycatch in krill fisheries; however it has not been directly harvested since the 1980s. As a midtrophic species, P. antarctica is sensitive to environmental changes and should be monitored in protected scientific reference areas to obtain information on global change. For a midtrophic fish in a supposed wasp-waist ecosystem, strict regulation of bycatch and monitoring should be carried out in parallel with the monitoring of Antarctic krill and ice krill. The designation of protected areas is an important mechanism for preserving the essential habitats of P. antarctica in the Southern Ocean.
