摘要： 在木星轨道的空间辐射环境中，占主导地位的粒子是能量大于1MeV（甚至高于100MeV）的高能电子，这可能会产生卫星内部介质充电效应。在卫星的防辐射设计中，通常需要一定厚度的材料来屏蔽这些电子，使得进入卫星内部的电子通量达到安全的水平。利用所建立的GEANT4-RIC（radiation induced conductivity）方法，研究了运行于木星轨道的卫星对高能电子的最佳屏蔽材料设计。研究了铝、钛、铁、铜、钽和铅作为卫星屏蔽材料的可能性。研究结果表明，在木星探测任务中，为了减轻卫星内部介质充电效应，高原子序数材料比低原子序数材料在相同质量下提供的屏蔽效果更好。因此，用钛、铁、铜、钽或铅代替地球轨道卫星上常用的屏蔽材料铝，可以节省屏蔽质量。

Abstract: In the space environment around Jupiter, the dominant particles are high-energy electrons with E > 1 MeV (and can be higher than 100MeV), which can cause internal dielectric charging effects in spacecraft electronics. Huge mass is required to shield these electrons to reduce the incident internal flux to a safe level. The GEANT4 and RIC (radiationinduced conductivity) Monte Carlo toolkit method was used to study an optimum single shielding material design for high energy electrons during a Jupiter mission. Al, Ti, Fe, Cu, Ta and Pb were investigated as possible materials for spacecraft shielding. Calculation results indicate that, to mitigate internal dielectric charging effects during a Jupiter mission, lowZ materials provide less-efficient shielding with the same areal mass than high-Z materials. Therefore, shielding mass can be saved by using Ti, Fe, Cu, Ta or Pb, instead of Al which is commonly used in Earth orbits.
