        Simulation of a Radiation Monitor for Future Space Missions
        A simulation study of a baseline configuration for a next generation of light, compact and low power consuming radiation monitors for future space missions is presented. The instrument concept studied performs not only as a radiation switch, providing ancillary radiation environment information to the spacecraft, but also as a scientific instrument, capable of measuring electrons with energies between between ~100 KeV and 20 MeV, and protons and ions with energies ranging between 0.5 MeV and 150 MeV. A fast simulation tool based on a simulation of the instrument using the GEANT4 simulation toolkit is presented.
