TL;DR: Geant4 as discussed by the authors is a software toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter, which is used by a large number of experiments and projects in a variety of application domains, including high energy physics, astrophysics and space science, medical physics and radiation protection.
Abstract: Geant4 is a software toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. It is used by a large number of experiments and projects in a variety of application domains, including high energy physics, astrophysics and space science, medical physics and radiation protection. Over the past several years, major changes have been made to the toolkit in order to accommodate the needs of these user communities, and to efficiently exploit the growth of computing power made available by advances in technology. The adaptation of Geant4 to multithreading, advances in physics, detector modeling and visualization, extensions to the toolkit, including biasing and reverse Monte Carlo, and tools for physics and release validation are discussed here.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present experimental evidence of electron induced upsets in a reference ESA SEU monitor, the SEU based particle detector, induced by 200 MeV electron beam at the VESPER facility at CERN.
Abstract: We present experimental evidence of electron induced upsets in a reference ESA SEU monitor, the SEU based particle detector, induced by 200 MeV electron beam at the VESPER facility at CERN. Comparison of experimental cross sections and simulated cross sections are shown and the differences are analyzed. Possible secondary contributions to the upset rate by neutrons and cumulative dose effects are discussed, showing that electronuclear reactions are the expected SEU mechanism. Insight is given as to possible overall electron contribution to the upset rates in the Jovian radiation environment inside a typical spacecraft shielding are evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, potential alternatives to the standard aluminum shielding approach are assessed by Monte Carlo simulations and promising candidates are manufactured and characterized by radiation tests including proton and electron tests, and the transmission of energetic protons of up to 39 MeV through the shielding solution was assessed as well as the dose deposited by energetic electrons up to 12 MeV in RADFETs and Alanine dosimeters behind the shield.
Abstract: Novel materials or multilayers can help to reduce the mass requirement for radiation shielding of electronic components significantly. In this study, potential alternatives to the standard aluminum shielding approach are assessed by Monte Carlo simulations and promising candidates are manufactured and characterized by radiation tests including proton and electron tests. The transmission of energetic protons of up to 39 MeV through the shielding solution was assessed as well as the dose deposited by energetic electrons up to 12 MeV in RADFETs and Alanine dosimeters behind the shield.
