Astroparticle Techniques: Simulating Cosmic Rays induced Background Radiation on Aircrafts

Abstract

Incident cosmic ray fluxes over flying aircrafts are compared with those in Bucaramanga, Colombia and very significant differences are observed for proton and neutron fluxes. We also obtained that major contributions in the deposited energy by Cherenkov photons on blood plasma is in the UV-C band.
