Microtopology of the Charge Distribution in the Field of Ionizing Particles Formed by Cosmic Rays in Space Vehicles

Abstract

It has been shown experimentally that, in a complex field of ionizing particles generated by cosmic rays, the highest values of the specific absorbed energy and, therefore, the density of charge formed during the ionization correspond to the locations of ion stopping. The modeling shows that, in the same locations, the ratio of the energy absorption by the nuclear continuum to the ionizing particle energy absorption by the electronic continuum of the medium linearly depends on the mass of the projectile.
