- W48726581 abstract "We have developed a Monte Carlo code based on Geant4 to simulate the interaction of cosmic rays (E<100GeV) with the Earth’s atmosphere. The code allows to compute the flux of secondaries at user-defined altitudes. Possible applications include e.g. neutron albedo estimations, solar particle flux studies, and cosmogenic nuclide production. The paper describes the code and presents the results of first simulations. 1. Introduction The precise knowledge of the flux of atmospheric cascade particles induced by galactic and solar cosmic rays is of utmost importance for a large field of applications. Complex Monte Carlo codes that can simulate the transport of cosmic rays through the atmosphere allow to better quantify these fluxes. The Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit offers all the libraries needed to build such codes [2]. It allows to simulate the propagation of primary and secondary particles through matter in the energy range ∼250 eV–10 TeV. First developed for the accelerator community, it has been sponsored by ESA for extending its capabilities for the space and astrophysics community. We have developed a Monte Carlo code based on Geant4 that simulates the interaction of cosmic rays (E<100GeV) with the Earth’s atmosphere. The paper describes the code and presents the results of first simulations. 2. Description of the Code In our Monte Carlo code the atmosphere is represented by the superposition of several homogeneous horizontal layers with the same atmospheric depth. The density, pressure and temperature are taken as a function of altitude according to the 1976 U.S. standard atmospheric model [5]. The atmosphere is considered as composed by 78.1 % of N2 and 21.9 % of O2. The electromagnetic shower is simulated by the standard electromagnetic package available in Geant4. For the simulation of hadronic interactions, different models of Geant4 are used, depending on the energy range [3]. For high energies" @default.
