Abstract: This
effort analyzed the low-energy deposition Pulse Height
Analyzer (PHA) data from the Combined Release and Radiation
Effects Satellite (CRRES). The high-energy deposition data
had been previously analyzed and shown to be in agreement
with spallation reactions predicted by the Clemson
University Proton Interactions in Devices (CUPID) simulation
model and existing environmental and orbit positioning
models (AP-8 with USAF B-L coordinates). The scope of this
project was to develop and improve the CUPID model by
increasing its range to lower incident particle energies,
and to expand the modeling to include contributions from
elastic interactions. Before making changes, it was
necessary to identify experimental data suitable for
benchmarking the codes; then, the models to the CRRES PHA
data could be applied. It was also planned to test the model
against available low-energy proton or neutron SEU data
obtained with mono-energetic beams.
