Abstract
For satellite gamma astrophysics, new missions have been proposed to investigate the Compton regime. The predecessors demonstrated as material activation is an important problem at these energies, because of the irradiation received from cosmic rays. We have quantified the material activation in a nanosatellite Compton in LEO with some Monte Carlo simulations. In this work we focused on primary protons, estimating the produced radioisotopes and in particular those that give gamma rays in out energetic range.File in questo prodotto:
