Abstract
n the space radiation environment, instruments undergo radiation damage. For testing their reliability one has to know the fluxes of energetic particles and has to be able to quantify their energy deposition. The GEANT4 toolkit, via its multilevel approach, enables physicists to reproduce the space radiation environment. In this work we report the results obtained with an improved implementation of the already existing single scattering model allowing the simulation of the recoil of high energy ions. This gives the possibility to calculate the Coulomb scattering contribution to the Non-Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL) for the complete energy range of interest. Moreover the Galactic Cosmic Ray fluxes of the ISO model 15390 have been introduced in GEANT4
