Dosimetry of low energy proton beams for use in spacecraft parts testing

Thermoluminescent Dosimeters tes (TLD) were used to measure proton fluences consisting of 5MeV or lower energies. The results were at variance with the corresponding gamma measurements. The results of experiments on low energy proton dosimetry using LiF-in-teflon microrods (TLD-700 or LiF-7), are presented.

The "Supercritical Pile" Model for GRB: Tapping the Proton Energy and Getting the v F(sub V) Peak at Approx. 1 MeV

We propose a process by which the kinetic energy of the protons, that carry most of the energy of GRB relativistic blast waves (RBW) of Lorentz factor is converted explosively into relativistic electrons of the same Lorentz factor, which subsequently produce the observed prompt gamma-ray emission of the burst. This conversion is the result of the combined effects of the reflection of photons produced within the flow by upstream located matter, their re-interception and conversion into e(+) e(-) pairs on the RBW by the p gamma (right arrow) p e(+) e(-) reaction.

Low-energy proton increases associated with interplanetary shock waves.

Impulsive increases in the low energy proton flux observed by the Explorer 34 satellite, in very close time association with geomagnetic storm sudden commencements are described. It is shown that these events are of short duration (20-30 min) and occur only during the decay phase of a solar cosmic-ray flare event. The differential energy spectrum and the angular distribution of the direction of arrival of the particles are discussed. Two similar increases observed far away from the earth by the Pioneer 7 and 8 deep-space probes are also presented. These impulsive increases are compared with Energetic Storm Particle events and their similarities and differences are discussed. A model is suggested to explain these increases, based on the sweeping and trapping of low energy cosmic rays of solar origin by the advancing shock front responsible for the sudden commencement detected on the earth.
